Read about young people and despair for them.


Read about young people and despair for them. 


They are in perpetual crisis. 
Fat, lazy and amoral. 
Sexually promiscuous and drug-addicted. 
Failed by a deteriorating education system and 
sent astray by society's dropping standards. 
Explosive. 
Aimless. 
Spoiled 
and corrupted by materialism, 
television and 
violent video games. 
Sullen and distant. 
Armed. 
But know them and rejoice.
BEAUTIFUL HUMANS
They are our pride and joy, our darlings. 
They are bright and full of optimism; 
a brand-new day embodied. 
They see the world with fresh eyes. 
Today's young will be the  
richest, best-educated and 
healthiest generation in history, 
and the largest one, too. 
Their accomplishments will exceed our wildest dreams. 
And yet the majority of them will live and die in 
poverty, most of their potential untapped.
