It's no secret that our world isn't at it's best. War, disease, ect. I know you could say there has always been war, disease, ect., but if you ask me it's just gotten worse in the 20th and 21st century. Why? It probably has to do with technology and money and and all the things that give us a seemingly better life. Then we have to account for human nature. Even if we moved to the moon and started all over, there would always be problems. Conflict. Anger. Rules. Expectations. These are things that surround our society. We can't run from them. If we do move to the moon, what would we do with people who don't stay peaceful and disrupter our utopia? Put in them in jail? Send them back to earth. Kill them? Any of these options can change a utopia into a dystopia. There is just no way that everyone can get along. It's impossible -- unless people are brainwashed. But then not only would everybody be the same (What's the fun in that?), but then we go back to the dystopia world. There is no winning.
But I still have hope. Sometimes I think our world would be better off being run by the young. They're/we're innocent. At least more innocent then most adults. But then we can get into the whole "Power corrupts" thing and how long would they stay innocent? *Sigh* Still, I can hope.
There is this song I like by Hollywood Undead called "Young". The beginning lines go like this "We are young, we have heart / Born in this world as it all falls apart / We are strong, we don't belong / Born in this world as it all falls apart". Though sad, this song does seem to show what are world has come. It's also a song that shows the pissed off aspect of all these problems. I remember some kids at my school had sung it for share day, and I had to totally agree. I hate that every generation just seems to make the world worse and then passes it on to the next. In a short time my generation will be inheriting the world...except I'm not sure if I want it.
We are young, we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong, we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
I see the children in the rain like the parade before the pain
I see the love, I see the hate, I see this world that we can make
I see the life, I see the sky, give it all to see you fly
Yes, we wave this flag of hatred but you're the ones who made it
Watch the beauty of all our lies passing right before my eyes
I hear the hate in all your words, all the wars to make us hurt
We get so sick of so sick, we never wanted all this
Medication for the kids with no reason to live
So we march to the drums of the dammed as we come
Watch it burn in the sun, we are numb
We are young, we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong, we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
As we walk among these shadows, in these streets, this fields of battle
Take it up, we wear the medal, raise your hands with burning candles
Hear us whisper in the dark, in the rain you see the spark
Feel the beating of our hearts, fleeting hope as we depart
All together, walk alone against all we've ever known
All we've ever really wanted was a place to call our home
But you take all we are, the innocence of our hearts
Made to kneel before the alter as you tear us apart
So we march to the drums of the dammed as we come
Watch it burn in the sun, we are numb
We are young, we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong, we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We will fight or we will fall till the angels save us all
We will fight or we will fall till the angels save us all
We will fight or we will fall till the angels save us all
We will fight or we will fall till the angels save us all
We are young, we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong, we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are young, we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong, we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong, we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
I see the children in the rain like the parade before the pain
I see the love, I see the hate, I see this world that we can make
I see the life, I see the sky, give it all to see you fly

We are strong, we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
