Generation X
I am a member of what people call 'Generation X'. Why are we called Generation X? I think it is because there is nothing else to be. Where is the voice to listen to? Where are the leaders? The Ideas that change the world? Where are the Dr. Martin Luther Kings, the Malcolm X's, The Roosevelt's of our time? All the good ideas have been thought and sold. All the good themes used up and turned into theme parks. Who is there to look up to? Where are the fists in the air, the marching feet, the sound of will and individuality? There seems to be just this nothingness ahead of us. We are surrounded by mutiny instead of unity. Where are the ones to lead the change, and make the differences in the world? Everything is overdone and used up. What is left for us? Where are those who will stand? Those who will make tomorrow? Where are we? We are not Generation X by choice, there is just nothing else to be.

This is perceptive. It commands a response. Recently I wrote a piece on 36 sq ft of change and posted on prayermetro.blogspot.com. This piece is like a connection in a larger puzzle. So I reposted on that site as there is an unsettledness in me to simply watch. Sure I do some things. But bigger things need done. Larger words need spoken. Something needs to change.
