Often, at night
I lay awake
Just thinking
And dreaming
Or maybe both

About my generation
About how convenient we have had it
And about the destruction we are causing
Is it just a coincidence?
Or is one a consequence of the other?

Definitely, the latter
I often come to the conclusion to
And then I go back to sleep
Feeling assured
That not everything is pure chance

Despair, Concern, Hope
Conviction, Drive, Inspiration,
Is what we have
To keep changing, to keep upgrading
That’s what keeps humanity ticking

To keep seeing through the nonsense
To learn from our mistakes of the past
To differentiate good from bad
Is what we need to learn
To have any hope for building a new future
