The Wasteful Generation

It all started so well-life that is, under the cloudy rainy skies, under the clear blue skies. The masters had gone-hope bekoned-now we could do it ourselves, so we taught; we, the renaissance generation. But alas, we tried too much, too soon. And before we knew it, the skies had turned crimsom red- red from the blood of the fallen that the earth had taken. We also lost our innonence because we taught we were ready and could do it better. Realised we were not. But really the wasted generation? No, was the answer. Or the lost generation? No, again. Maybe, the wasteful generation.
