Boomers
by Amber "V" Moonstone
1/25/12

Living on the Edge of life,
running on spare parts,
accepting what has come our way,
that's what baby boomers do.

I heard today that we have ruined the world,
our laid back, wait till tomorrow attitude,
well whoever said that definitely isn't 
a Baby boomer.

Exactly what is a Baby Boomer?
Someone born during the boom (1946-1964)
So why is it our fault?
Shouldn't the blame go on the generation that had us?

We are living on the edge of life,
running on spare parts,
accepting what has come our way,
that's what baby boomers do.

I believe that the baby boomers have
contributed to the fastest growth in
technology, music, wealth and well being
that our nation has ever experienced!

We went from no TV,
to the immense screen we see today,
rotary dial phones, to cell phones,
mail service, to internet email.

Strides in medicine,
developement of technology,
progression in the Music Industry,
and so much more.

I believe that the Baby Boomer generation,
has enhanced and enlightened this world,
and will continue to do so,
as we go into the twilight of our lives.

I raise my glass,
and stand proud
to be of a generation
that has met it's full potential!

 

Boomers (c) Amber "V" Moonstone

I have been reading some of your poems and must tell you I particularly like "Like You Really Mean It" (perfectly constructed), "Feeling Loved" (so moving) and this one - I was born in 1940 but I agree with everything you say!

I stand along side you also Amber...I am proud to be part of a generation that changed so many things...Music alone changed dramatically in the 60's, and we are certainly a generation different from our Grandparents. In the main, we have the choice to be healthier, with more energy and a better education.. which is what they would want for us....
Hugs, Diana...

The Generation X'rs are the ones saying that about us Boomers, but from what I see of them, they don't have much to brag about. I will admit though that most of our damned polticians today are Boomers, and they're doing a horrendous job.

I've heard the banter about we've ruined it, everyone forgets how we improved it and who spearheads the efforts to save it. Hooray for you Amber

I have no argument with anything you have said. Although I'd not heard that Boomers have ruined the world.
