Reflect
Looking at the mirror
I wonder where
life has taken me
To places unfair
Crashing buildings
Horrifying stocks
Place blown up
Gen Z alway looking up
Born in 2000
I wonder about the old times
When kids could walk to school
Without the fear they will die
All my hopes so far away
Dreams trapped in my head
Will never come out to play
I wonder how long
Only time will tell
When she's ready for me
To expel
(A/N) So I know I don't have a lot of readers, but I want to bring sultf041316 to everyone's attention. She was a writer who committed suicide, and this brought back unpleasant memories of friends I know who went through that. The teenage suicide rate is increasing to unprecedented numbers. Gen Z is a different generation born from 1995 to 2015. Most of the generation never grew up in a world without terror or chaos. The seniors of today came into the world when 9/11 was on the news and now their senior year is plagued with Coronavirus. So much has happened in between
2001: 9/11 attacks (3,000 dead). The start of the war in Afghanistan.
2002: D.C. area sniper attacks.
2003: The war in Iraq begins, the start of the Sudanese genocide.
2004: Indian Ocean Tsunami (over 230,000 dead).
2005: Hurricane Katrina (over 1,800 dead).
2007: Virginia Tech shooting (deadliest school shooting in US history).
2008: Worldwide financial crisis in full swing.
2009: Shooting at Fort Hood.
2010: Earthquake in Haiti (over 300,000 dead). Gulf oil spill disaster.
2011: Earthquake, Tsunami & Nuclear Crisis in Japan and The Tucson, Arizona mass shooting.
2012: Hurricane Sandy and Aurora Shooting and Sandy Hook Shooting
2013: Alberta Flood and Boston Marathon bombing
AND SO ON... Don't forget the shootings, some of the deadliest of all time.
Just pray for the generation that's had to live with an unsteady life. Technology is great, but it gives people a great deal of power. The internet is a hostile place, so stay safe. Yeah, things happens in other generations, like World War I and II and Great Depression, but we may be on the brink of that, again. Just stay safe and stay positive.
Sorry this was so late, trying to find the right words takes time.
