My generation is of an age of Truth and Lies
        Of Love and of Hate.
A people who wander in a maze of shadow,
        Trying to find what is right.
The questions are many,
        Is abortion a right? A choice?
                Or a crime?
        Is homosexuality an act of nature? Of God?
                Or a horrible sin?
        Are we destroying this world we live in?
                Or is that a myth? A hoax?
The answers contested,
        Upbringing, Religion, Experience,
        Education, Orientation.
        All play a role in shaping opinion.
Some see only a black and a white,
        Only two paths to follow
        Up, and Down.
Others, a multitude of grays,
        A thousand twisting paths.
        Some better, some worse.
        None perfect.
We are a generation of Truth and Lies,
        Of painful Love,
        And Hating, with a smile
Just a few things I've noticed.
I did this for a class, and I'd LOVE to be able to put some of the others my class did up too, but since their not mine, I'll just have to hope they had the same Idea I did. :)
