Look At Our Youth

I hear that "Happy Days are Here Again" that Peace is right around the corner that's the market's bullish, profits booming that we've all adjusted to meeting by zooming Yet look at our youth, more dependent than ever on wired electronic simulation for thrills for fresh air they don't care, at their screens they do stare when they're tired of those, they'll be popping pills

Hi Gershon, The youth were preferred indoors before this pandemic. It has gotten much worse since then. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis

Hello Gershon … honest right to the core in this poem of yours. So much of our youth wasted yet like all generations we go with the times - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Incisive comment, per the Lindsay Laurie standard, my friend: We go along with the nonsense of the youth; we certainly do... Perhaps because we vaguely remember the nonsense in which we indulged when we were young too! Going along to get along, gw

You are right my son same situation. Yes popping pills I tell him that's what you will do. Can't go out. What to do he asks. Not interested I. Reading and creative stuff. It's utube and mobile games all day. You write profound poem in just few lines. Very inspiring. Love reading your poems.

I would have gone nuts staying inside as a kid. Sure glad there wasn't a pandemic when I was young. Take care, Ani. Peace and Tranquility, Gershon

It is sadly what might happen if we keep wired to our electronic devices. Kiss fresh air good bye. Bravo!

If the fresh air is all gone and I try to kiss it, I guess that my chin will hit the ground. ~ All shook up
