Brilliantly clever poem written by a 14 year old summing up our times.

[sacriface]

If you’ve ever lost faith in this generation or the next one, this 14-year-old boy may give you just enough hope to get through the day.

Derek Nichols decided to post a poem written by his younger brother, Jordan, who seems to be wise beyond his years.

Whether it was actually written by a 14 year old, or a 40 year old, It has no effect on the impact and "dire straights" cleverness of this little piece of writing. Brilliant.

Thanks for sharing this, ametist. :)

It really is quite clever!

Both poems (I clicked on the link that goes to YouTube) are pretty amazing in how the meaning is different when it's read in reverse. Humanity really needs to change direction. It was really very well done.

Thank you for sharing!

Touching. Impressive. There still are hope for humanity, in the more darkest night.
It's amazing that these boy have written that. But perhaps it is true that while many teens are stunned with the latest technologies of "communication", mysterious things are happening that are not visible on the surface, and new generations (and not so new) bring with them incredible things. A few months ago I was walking down the street and heard a conversation in passing of three friends about 15 years old. And one was telling the others: "I talked to her honestly, I opened my heart. You know how it costs me show how I feel...". And they listened and taken very seriously. I walked almost shocked. It was like listening to a conversation between idealized romantic teenagers of the Renaissance, not idiotized. Generated in me a hopeful impression.

Very beautiful! I agree, we need to reverse, look what we have done and learn about our past, start again. That's remind me of Laura's article about how looking at our past is important, there is a lesson there and also a lesson in our present. And if we don't reverse our attitude, too bad for us.

That was a very beautiful poem, and blew my mind when I read it backwards! I do hope humanity takes the second choice, though it doesn't look likely at the moment.

That story is very surprising, and the fact that it is surprising is sad indeed. I suppose in any generation there are a few who make it through somehow with their hearts and brains intact, but it is a great shame that the idiotizing influence is like a vast net that has caught a huge proportion of this latest generation, much more than previous ones it seems.

Loreta, do you know where that article is please?

The ponerizing influence is becoming stronger by year, so every another generation has it harder to get through and be as open as these mentioned youngsters, and stay human. I would never say anything like that when I was 15, or even 20.

It made me think about the spectrum of sts/sto inclination in people.
From one side there are news about 9 year old christmas shootouts, murders and even rape, etc.
And from the other side, there are those sensitive and open children that go way ahead of society's levels of feeling.
Both sides from either end of the spectrum will grow up and "act accordingly" in the world, .

It could seem like the infusion from both sts and sto realms takes place into our third density, in a struggle for one, or another kind of future to prevail.

@Paddyjohn, I'd say this is a dominant theme in all of Laura's work, nearly everything she writes has this conclusion to it.
However, if there's a specific artice, I'll be happy if it were named as well :)

Really nice words, even though I always thought "read backwards at the end" poems were a little gimmicky.
