1. I also feel the pressure: like I’m being simmered by civilization.
   Many kids, educated and smart, must be in despair.
   For all of the kids in the pressure cooker!
   Let’s turn down the heat!

   PS I live in a small town and in our graduation issue newspaper there was a classified ad for girls to dance for boys.
   I phoned and they are looking for girls over 19. Our grads are 17-19 or so.
   What do you think, girls? A good way to make some green backs??!!
   In BANGkok the girls are 12 or so.

   Me Generation!
   Inspired by Mr. Serge LeClerc

   We have it all. It was gifted to us.
   The baby boomer bulge has much to discuss.
   Our parents made rules, then sent sons to war.
   They passed on the wealth. We took and craved more.
   For gold sun we searched, and tore up the earth,
   From Cancun to Cairo, Bangkok to Perth.
   We thought we turned right, but we got it all wrong.
   Our kids and their kids, sing such a sad song.
   They talk about hoes, liquor and crystal meth,
   And how desperate suicide is a number one death.
   The smoke and the drink, has served man for years.
   Then business added addiction. Now media controls fears.
   We market destruction, using words and the sword,
   So we can have money, good morals are ignored.
   Our youth have it all, but what love can give.
   We must wake up now, so our planet can live.
   The Me Generation, has a chance to pay back.
   The window is small. We must start a new tack.
   The mistake was in living, “I want it for me!”.
   Survival comes when. “I want it for thee!”.
