Sinking Ship

Sinking Ship

Your generation has a smile upon its lips, clinging to your treasure chest on this sinking ship. You took everything without regard for who was coming next.

Never thought you'd be around to witness the effects. Under the banner of heaven, in the name of progress, in pursuit of happiness and wealth…you spent without remorse every last precious resource thinking of no one but yourselves.

You speak of civic duty and responsibility, but tell me what that really means. What did you ever give back to the community? You've taken all we have. Have you no guilt or shame? We are your children.

We are the tortured and enslaved! Who will stand up? Who will be the one? Who will be the one to say, "This is wrong?" Who will stop what you've begun?
