It's 2002, do you know where your children are?

By Shashama

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Hey, don't forget We are the future Knowing this I'd start running But hey, that's me Don't worry We'll follow in your footsteps Destroy the world And all her creatures Star wars Pollute the air And the water Kill people Lots and lots of people In the name of God And Goodness And Freedom Funny, isn't it? The things you do To get those things Actually destroy them Do you think To yourself "Next generation, Will right our wrongs"? Well did you also think Maybe thats what Your parents thought About YOUR generation Can you really put All of your hopes On us? We are the children We are the future But you raise us To be what You couldn't be That didn't work before Why would it now? We try to warn you But hey We're just children What do we know?
