Apathetic generation

Lost Generation by Jonathan Reed

Yet another works from a Singaporean, inspired by Jonathan Reed's,

I am part of an apathetic generation

and I refuse to believe that

I can bring change to this nation

I realize this may be a shock but

“Democracy, Equality and Freedom are important ideals.”

is a lie, and

“Money and material wealth will make us all happy.”

Singaporeans know that

cars, cash and condominiums

are more important than

the ideals in our pledge

I tell you this

Once upon a time

Singaporeans stood up for justice and each other

but this will not be true in my era

This is a divided unequal selfish society

Everyone tells me

20 yrs from now, true blue S'poreans will be a minority in our country

I do not believe that

I will live in a nation where there is a sense of ownership

In the future

defeat of our society's ideals and core values will be inevitable

No longer can it be said that

My fellow citizens and I care about this nation

It will be evident that

My generation is apathetic and materialistic

It is foolish to presume that

There is hope.

And will come true unless we choose to reverse it. Read the above message, then read it again in reverse.

If only the apathetic generation can really be reversed.
