Lost generation

Lost generation,
Teenagers of the 21st century.
Got into a tangle, lost and became weak
They don’t know what to do
And don’t know where to go.
They are solitary and lonely
And organize wild flocks.
They forgot love and friendship
Oh, no, just didn’t know it.
Solitude incites them to irregular life:
Alcohol, drugs, sex, AIDS,
Pregnancy in 13, sick infants.

They have a lot
Everything is for their entertainment:
TV, computers, mobiles, Internet, gadgets,
But they are unhappy and bored
’Cause they appreciate only material things.
Forgot about ordinary courtesy,
Assistance, respect, sympathy for other’s grief
They think about themselves only
And kill themselves slowly.
Can’t find their way in the life
Abandoned, lost and lonely
They managed to find panacea:
Alcohol, sex, drugs, suicide.
Teenagers of the 21st century—
Lost generation. Present generation…
