Saving this Generation

We often heard tough men says, ‘let us save this generation’
Save from whom?
Save from where?
Save from what?

From antipathy? From World War 3?
or from the diseases brought by new rendezvous
new drugs conceived and invented
a multi-billion business of rich
and the hungry for fame and money

Poor guinea pigs, poor, poor countries!

illicit connivance
like my perfume illicit fragrance
smells so good to me
too tempting not to engage
let’s save this generation
from the wrath of the Highest                                                             
who burned Sodom and Gomorrah
do not look back, do not even try!

But, wait...
“Can we regenerate this world with our poetry?
With our friendship, will it become new?”
