Defend the Poet/ Dinosauria, We

This poem contained strong lyrics. It gives me a sense that being born into this world is the worst thing that could of happened to me. From the start we are already faced with problems that we have had no influence in. We will have to deal with the debt of the government we have been born into and they don't care because they will die and it won't be their problem anymore. The line about the supermarket bag boy with the college degree really spoke to me especially in this time. Now that unemployment is reaching higher percentages every day the college graduates can't get a job with their diploma and have to take any type of job to survive and live and pay off the debt they have from college. This is important to me since i will soon be going to college and will be worried if I can't find a job after to pay my debt the way things are going. It seems that no matter if our parents try to raise us in the good way the world around us will take care of that and cause us to be influenced by the evil and pretty much become evil ourselves. We will all be turned into crooks and sometimes it seems that its the easiest way to live. For those that don't want to work hard the way to live becomes stealing for survival. Then the rich always being the ones to survive just because they are rich. Well if you think about they became rich by exploiting the work of innocent people trying to earn a living wage and exploiting the natural resources that didn't matter if they would run out or hurt the earth because combined they probably have enough money to make a new earth to live on. But no matter what their money will not be able to save them forever and pretty soon they will face the facts of reality and will suffer like the rest of us. This poem talks about problems facing our society now which is pretty weird and inspiring in a way since it was written like sixty years ago.
