"Lost Generation" by metroamv



"The Lost Generation" is a poem that is about the coming generation.  She starts talking about how the next generation will be "nostalgic and lethargic," and "environmental destruction will be the norm."  At what looks like the end of the poem, she says, "And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.  Then she starts reading the lines in reverse order.  She wrote this poem in a way that it has a negative meaning one way, but a totoally opposite meaning when the lines are read in reverse.  In reverse, she says that "It is foolish to believe that My generation is apathetic and lethargic."  I think this is a creative poem that was probably fun to write.
