LeeAnn, the youth of today is fighting like to address some of the issues and causes that you had fought for. But they are doing it in more subtle ways. And some, not so subtle. And I pray every day for their success!

Your wonderful socially conscious poem highlights many areas of great concern, LeeAnn. As long as there are people who care deeply about this issue, as you do, there is hope.5 stars.

Wow! Wonderful! "Maybe, it is my generation‘s fault"! This sense of owning the responsibility for the ills of the world, is so great! When everybody tries hard to shirk it. Lovely poetry, dear poet. Top score

Too true leeAnn, each gemeration comes with the promise of doing something good, and yet the greater powers and forces of industry and indifference of society ensure that there is not much change. But each little action can make things slightly better.

As long as we have breath in our body we must never stop campaigning on the environment and biodiversity simply for the next generation.
