WRITTEN BY A 14 YR. OLD
Read the poem once through
first…
Our generation will be known
for nothing.
Never will anybody say,
We were the peak of mankind.
That is wrong, the truth is
Our generation was a failure.
Thinking that
We actually succeeded
Is a waste. And we know
Living only for money and power
Is the way to go.
Being loving, respectful, and kind
Is a dumb thing to do.
Forgetting about that time,
Will not be easy, but we will try.
Changing our world for the better
Is something we never did.
Giving up
Was how we handled our problems.
Working hard
Was a joke.
We knew that
People thought we couldn’t come back
That might be true,
Unless we turn things around
Never will anybody say,
We were the peak of mankind.
That is wrong, the truth is
Our generation was a failure.
Thinking that
We actually succeeded
Is a waste. And we know
Living only for money and power
Is the way to go.
Being loving, respectful, and kind
Is a dumb thing to do.
Forgetting about that time,
Will not be easy, but we will try.
Changing our world for the better
Is something we never did.
Giving up
Was how we handled our problems.
Working hard
Was a joke.
We knew that
People thought we couldn’t come back
That might be true,
Unless we turn things around
Did you notice it? (We bet
not.) Now, read the poem again – only backwards.
Unless we turn things around
That might be true,
People thought we couldn’t come back
We knew that
Was a joke.
Working hard
Was how we handled our problems.
Giving up
Is something we never did.
Changing our world for the better
Will not be easy, but we will try.
Forgetting about that time,
Is a dumb thing to do.
Being loving, respectful, and kind
Is the way to go.
Living only for money and power
Is a waste. And we know
We actually succeeded

I am not sure why it is being called the secret poem. The name of the 14 year old author is Jordan Nichols from my school district. He is in 8th grade. He is from the Wilmington Area School District in New Wilmington Pa . It was a school assignment and his brother read it and thought it was so good that he posted it on facebook. It has since gone viral. I am posting that so that the authorship credit does not get lost.
Like. Sorry that your education has been hijacked by the criminals and media running America and all it's people into the ground and lying to them about true history and true science and technology that God has provided to help mankind to succeed and be happy. Everyone, not just some.
Well, well, well. Well done!
If a 14 young mate is capable of writing a piece like this one I just read, than I can be at peace. Life really is worth living and all is not lost as one may think, not without a reason.
As would sing ole Louis Armstrong, I THINK TO MYSELF, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
Cheers from Brasil.
