The case against Baby Boomers?
Its so funny to be coined that, Baby Boomers owe an apology
to everyone whether about the economy or about the many other forms of Gluttony
and Greed.
I like it when people start to say something about us. Remember
we were the ones carrying signs and yelling about Love not war, we had big aspirations
and even bigger expectations. We were the ones that wanted to change
everything.
Baby Boomers, where the first to turn in their signs for a
suit and tie. Sure there were a many good things that came from us, Alas there
are many more we are responsible for. Our Stewardship was forgotten just like
the colors we loved.
The pendulum of our youth and liberal ways, for some were a
reason to change as we struggled to find a way to provide for ourselves, this
created the development of the conservative lines we today still push at
everyone, thus our folly. We have turned even the term liberal into something
that is feared and hated. Traitors to our own youthful desires, far are they hidden
deep in a closet, removed for public eye like a stained shirt. Most of us were
a conservative badge in place of our desire for change.
We have taken our lot in life and urbanized our farms, shut
our factories, and became a land of consumers. Pray tell how we can offer a
thing to the next generation but our debt, a debt that is more than the
economy. Our focus now is about our little TV’s and that glass of wine as we
await our room at the senor homes.
Of those of us who did not sell our signs, we struggle to
sell our art, our words, our deeds. I hold little hope until our honesty is
restored. I for one still have my keep on truckin T-shirt and will cut my hair
in view of St. Peter, least I too become a traitor of my youth.
