Do you realize?
by: julietta

Do you realize that this would be an unhappy century?
We're living in a world that is now full of trash and toxicities.
For short, our planet is dying.
They say "don't break the rules" but they can't say it to theirselves.
Why? Discipline? Manners? You guess.

Do you realize that this century is different compared to others?
Our families were born in a different century. Different years.
They say, "You're lucky but you're using it wisely."
We can't afford the life our parents lived.

Albert Einstein's worst fear has come.
"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction.
The world will have a generation of idiots."
Connecting with other people online but not in person.
Everywhere, everyone holds a gadget.

Realize that before, leadership was everything a person wanted.
Ideal leadership was known. Every person had high standards.
What happened now?
Slacking off? More talk, less action?
The standard of leadership has really dropped.

We know it's not getting better
yet we still continue to do it.
21st Century?
Realize that this is the saddest century.
