I MUST STAY DRUNK ON WRITING SO REALITY DOES NOT DESTROY ME.
A friend sent this to me this morning. And it's a magical combination of his voice and the words. I've played it twice already and will play it again and again.
This is so beautiful! I want to send it to my children. The sentiments are similar to those in John O'Donohue's book Anam Cara that I'm in the middle of at the moment.
The younger generation blames the baby boomers for destroying the economy, for supporting the racist police state which murders black people, and for pretty much destroying America. The level of hatred that the youth feels towards boomers is undescribable. My question is, do you boomers think you're going to have a peaceful retirement? How do you think the younger generation will treat you? Already we see it happening, a couple weeks ago there was that video of a black guy punching a 75 year old white baby boomer man in the face in a retirement home. This is what happens when you live a greedy selfish life without thinking of the future. One day, the CONSEQUENCES of your actions come back to hit you a 100 fold. You boomers destroyed America and the youth is angry enough to riot and burn down the cities. The GREED of the baby boomers caused this. Anyway good luck, you baby boomers are gonna need it.
Many, many thanks - to you and to him.
