THE GREATEST GENERATION <\/p>\n

They say we’re the greatest generation,
\nWhich has ever lived on Planet Earth,
\nYet I am forced to ponder and question,
\nAnd really wonder about our true worth.<\/p>\n

We have made great strides in science,
\nAnd we are exploring even Outer Space,
\nBut we really must stop now and consider,
\nWhat we are all doing to our own place.<\/p>\n

We abort unborn babies by the millions,
\nAnd we pollute the sea, land and sky,
\nWe war and create nukes by the 1000s,
\nSo that the whole world can easily die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
