Notes About The Poem

The most narcissistic entitled misinformed obnoxious ungrateful indoctrinated generation ever!

More is Less

The more they preach
      The less they believe
The more they look
            The less they see

The more they speak
         The less they listen
The more they learn
         The less they know

The more they fear
  The less they overcome
The more they promise
       The less they deliver

The more they expect
     The less they deserve
The more they complain
         The less they value

The more they reap
           The less they sow
The more they forsake
     The less they become

The more they mind
          The less they care
The more they sense
           The less they feel

The more they want
          The less they give
The more they answer
        The less they solve

The more they live
        The less they grow
The more they profess
     The less they explain

The more they judge
     The less they forgive
The smarter they get
     The dumber they are

It's sad that this generation is so demoralised that they fall into so many traps. Interesting write.

What a lovely surprise. I wasn’t expecting guests but you can visit anytime. I don’t envy this younger generation, they seem so anxious and discouraged when they should be excited and fearless. Hope all is well.

Psalm-adjacent ditty, Maestro. TDub would be proud. Brandy is proud. Rob is proud. Craig is proud. POTD should be proud. GenZZZZ's not so much. :o)))

Now you've gone and done it Keith. Written a well paced, very intense poem, marching to its own drummer...Where do we go next...to GEN A...

To be fair they never really had a chance. The media has never been so corrupt, the Hollywood cultural agenda so woke, and the education system so hijacked by lunatic left-wing extremists. An Orwellian trifecta that can only lead to inevitable dystopian destruction unless the silent majority speak up.

Sadly all of the above applies to most of their parents as well. Cheers John.
