It's such a cool poem guys...it brightened up my mood a teensy bit which is really hard to do

Our generation will be known for nothing.
Never will anybody say,
We were the peak of mankind.
That is wrong, the truth is
Our generation was a failure.
Thinking that
We actually succeeded
Is a waste. And we know
Living only for money and power
Is the way to go.
Being loving, respectful, and kind
Is a dumb thing to do.
Forgetting about that time,
Will not be easy, but we will try.
Changing our world for the better
Is something we never did.
Giving up
Was how we handled our problems.
Working hard
Was a joke.
We knew that
People thought we couldn’t come back
That might be true,
Unless we turn things around

This really made me think! I loved the ending.
I also thought the article you included about it was really cool! Thanks for sharing.

So cool! Thanks for putting the note at the bottom to read it backwards, I would never have noticed that...

I loved that. I would have never thought to read from bottom to top.

I've moved this to Self Expression because I think it fits better here.

This is really cool. I like how just changing the way it was read changed the entire meaning of the poem. I may try writing a poem like that.

I remember seeing this on tumblr and the post said it was written by a 14 year old, which really surprised me. It's an awesome poem and to think someone of that age could write something so great is pretty cool. It seems like it would be really difficult to write too! Obviously whoever wrote it is really talented.

I saw this on Twitter and freaked out in my class, its so amazingly written, I love it

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!!!! This was AMAZING. It's so brilliantly written.

...at least I didn't freak out, right?
