Next Generation

Next Generation

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

follow your heart,
follow your dream,
make some friends
and family along the way,
impart your ideas and
wisdom to the next generation,
this is what human nature should be,

we should foster the children,
not forget the children,
be them newborns
or new adults,

this is our prime directive,
should be anyway since nature
has a tendency to bifurcate her
kindness, the rain falls on the
unjust and all that,

this is why we have to pick up
the slack, good works bring
salvation more than divine
glory ever could,

James and Paul were both wrong,
need more be said.

Great Ideals to follow. I can add two more.
nurturing the ability to believe
strengthen the priority of individual responsibility

these can only be imparted by staying connected generationally.

To be able to pass on "life skills" is socially important for the next generation or we loose important skills washed into the sewer
