Turtle Generation

Themed and labelled by fancy connotations Ultimately we return to polarizing situations Renouncing us, our world divided by our ways This turtle generation of youths calls our study Lay that lames them diminished of our praise Enfold in their world of passivity and apathy Gender insertions and racial assertions despite Excite nothing still beyond the line of self, bare Needlessly without responsibility: an alien blight Emerges to the predecessors' eyes. Just to care Regarding where they move and exist to need Able bodied people like a water on the seashore Tip only the edge of self and need and so recede Ignorant of all space, time, empty to the core Of layers and layers of culture and struggle here Nurture in me a fear for tomorrow, and my despair Imitate them and the world falls still and fall again Slower and slowly into an abyss of existential pain Nature's only image the soft turtle in hard shell encased Out of our world, in its world alone, apart remain Without involvement, empathy, or fault of modern haste
