New Generation.

Poetic Licence


Notice of absence from Poetic Licence
They Think It Is All Over.
Sad to say it is now.
Take Care.

New Generation.

 

In the dark of another troubled life.

Tension and frustration boiled and came.

A new generation was deliberately born.

Changing all the rules of the game.

    Every generation speaks of how the next one is different, usually in a pejorative manner. This poem speaks of it changing the rules of the game. Nicely worded.

    • Poetic Licence

      Thank you, I feel they have changed, the youngsters these days live and operate in a world that is so different to the one we grew up in, enjoy the rest of your day

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome. That is what my father said to me of his generation.

        Let's hope this new generation has a better attitude than we give credit for because I see a generation of influencers myself, let's hope the game will.chamge for the better. Great theme. 🌹

          Thank you, I am hoping I am being unfair to today's generation and that they gloriously prove me wrong, as you mention the influencers, I feel they are part of the reason the future doesnt look bright, anyway have fun in the sun

          Situations change and generations adapt and are adopted by the new times.🕊️🙏🏻

          Well said, Tobani. They have to live in the world we borrowed from them.

                We try. However, most of our efforts seem proven futile, despite all. Expertly rendered in striking brevity with superb imagery and a taunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                I've heard that if young and old stay in touch with each other, they can move more quickly and comfortably among their peers. And this communication shapes culture. I really enjoyed the article. Thank you for sharing it. Best regards.

                  Hello, Tobani,

                  Too, true what you have wrote here and well said. It's very hard to keep up with the changes and especially what people get away with these days. That being said, I still have my bicycle, an electric one at that, I must admit, apart from that, I'm a luddite, well nearly - hahaha!

                  Fond regards,

                  Tony.

                    In my opinion, everyone has the same feelings about the next generation or the generation before ours!

                    • Poetic Licence

                      Probably true but today's generation is alot more dangerous, thank you for your feedback, it is always very much appreciated

                      • Friendship

                        Yes, there are! You're very welcome, my friend,

                          A new generation for a new world
                          In my day we where never in the house
                          Some now hardly leave and have a virtual existence
                          I only hope they get as long a run as i did
                          Somehow I doubt it though
                          Thoroughly enjoyed the read

                            As it does with every generation Tobani.

                              each succeeding generation feels it is much smarter than the one that preceded it - true in some respects, but unlike the older one, the current one is more assertive, sometimes brash, and not too respectful - they may learn to sober up given time and experience - so if they are changing the world for better, we should support; otherwise we should guide them
