Recycling

Watching the kids today, their involvements and reactions on different issues, takes me back to the late sixty’s and seventy’s when I, among many others, expressed my feelings to the world. At that time we hade; Vietnam, Watergate, Tricky Dick impeachment, East and West cold war and somehow we managed our governments to listen to us, the voice of youth. Changes did occur. Of course not just cause of us, but we felt participation in something that was vary important at the time.
The history goes on, recycling, carrying the same craft as we once had but a different theme. Today’s generation of youths, focused on the issue about the well behold of our planet, is trying to tell us something that we jus can’t ignore anymore. There is no time for nonchalance, if we want our kids and their kids to have some place to be. We’ve got to listen to them, for Christ sake, it is their future and they are concerned about it.
The wars that western world is involved today (one or the other way), for some reason it’s not the major issue anymore. Many times I’ve been thinking about it, Why!? Preoccupation with struggle for survival in daily life, or just simply lost the hope and trust in their governments? Or is it so that we don’t want to hear them?
The strangest thing is the fact that we (my generation) once, went through the same process and today we represent the government. We thought war sucks, but still today we are sending our kids to a certain death.
We have to get out from recycling process and find a new better way for history to move on.

Of course the accusation isn’t aimed to all people from my generation.
It’s for those with the power, those who can make the difference instead ignoring.
