We, Generation X, are cast upon the world, for the bad and the good, through the impudent teachings of the generation before us. How can we move our world away from the mistakes, when the very generation whop made them, were our forebears and mentors? Is it possible to be taught by mistaken individuals and not become mistaken individuals ourselves? Our perspective of reality has become so distorted, that only our perspective of our world and the knowledge of how mistakes happen can save us. Generation X cannot be blamed for the way things are, but the cumulative digressions of generations, just covering up abuse, violence, drugs, and STDs, has led to an overhaul of actually trying to fix these cigarette burns, instead of packaging them up in war and wrapping them in the fall of segregation.
�You are the Future. Do you like what you see?� I, part of the grand whole of my generation, laugh at our progress and weep for our application of knowledge in a blurred vision of the future. We don�t know what will happen in our time of ruling the world, but we can bring things into our arsenal labeled, �Change the World�. The easiest way to save our world is install a massive dictatorship over the world, while avoiding a dystopian society like Fahrenheit 451 and Animal Farm. But why change things? All you need to do is get people to get up and work. Effort increases per amount of lazy people. We all need to do our part. If you can�t build another factory, make the first factory twice as efficient. Help other people by releasing their strain on their iron grip to America. Help yourself by grabbing a piece of the yarn, the fabrication of American Society.
As we lay here listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, we struggle to determine the true meaning of, �Don�t Come Around Here No More�. His voice faltering, struggling to convey his message, �I�ve given up. Stop. Hey. Don�t come around here no more. Whatever you�re looking for.� We, as individuals must dig to our souls, we, as a whole, must unite to form �a more a perfect Union.� We must unite under the anthem of �I Won�t Back Down�. We must forget our cliques, our groups, our segregation, but never forget that you are you. But remember, of the whole, an individual of a generation is not more important than the fate of humanity. We may be characterized by our special needs and faultless accusations, later but for now we have to realize that if all generations keep doing the same thing, covering up, our existence will continue to demolish to the wastefulness we really our.
I�ll do what you say. �I am whatever you say I am.� -Eminem. Wrong. You must shine. The spectacle of the metamorphosed mind of our later life will discover the answers to the mistakes we made because we forgot to branch out. Our generation must break the cycle. International ties, bonds of friendships, real friends and not political advantages, would improve everything more than your mind might consider. We must be ready to bear a burden of a hard life to give our children the life we want, the life our forefathers wanted. True Freedom. If we try to ignore the way things are: drugs, murder, and disease, then we will conform to the way our forbearers generation was, and instead of our need to rebel against our parents, we will ultimately be like them. �A rebel without a clue.� The Irony.
