International Youth Day 2014: THE YOUTH OF TODAY

Y - yesterday, we had this bright future
O - owned by us
U - under African Skies
T - they promised us the world, in
H - hindsight it was never theirs to promise

D - daily grace are attained from God
A - and that is the only surety in a world where 
Y - young people are still being used as pawns

                              THE YOUTH OF TODAY

Our modern world is changing, and everyone is busy blaming the youth of today;

But how can we blame the future, when it was us who made their world this way.

Our street corners are full, as our children think that it’s okay to walk into the darkness with a knife;

When did we stop teaching our kids that the greatest ever gift, is quite simply LIFE.

Footballers earning a million pound a month, whilst children in Africa sit crying their hunger pain;

Pier pressure is weighing down our future generations, as they begin to buckle under the strain.

Our children are now living in a virtual world, with MSN, Facebook and Twitter, they no longer need to speak face to face;

If only they knew time was so valuable, and a lost childhood is the one thing that no one could ever replace.

Girls desperate to be thin, as their air brushed idols kneel at the toilet throwing up their breakfast, lunch and tea;

A silent generation sits texting on the latest mobile, whilst playing their PS3.

Faces hide behind hoodies, but not all youngsters want to go out and cause a riot;

Each of us is born with a hidden gift, but our future children have just forgotten how to find it.

We are leaving a broken planet to our children’s children, whilst our Governments just spout hot air, adding to our global warming;

With the worlds ice caps still melting, and our wildlife slowly disappearing, this is starting to sound more like a global warning.

Older generations demand respect, but its one way traffic, as respect back is something they do not show;

Instead of teaching our children how to fly, we tie them down with yet another ASBO.

Frustration and neglect flows through the streets of this concrete jungle, the one place that we now all call our home;

Bullies and racists still torture their victims, leaving them to cry in the shadows, all on their own.

Plastic surgery changing bodies, changing faces, as the years pass the dreams we all had as children slowly fade away;

Before long the dawn of a new generation will begin, and no doubt people will still be blaming,

The youth of today.

12 Things Fathers Should Do With Their Children During This Holiday

A Greek philosopher once defined man as a rational animal.  If you think about it at all, you will realize that this is a terrible definition.  Man may be a thinking animal, but much of what men do, maybe even most of what they do, is neither logical nor rational.  Euripides was far closer to truth when he described men as full of conflicting, irrational desires, creatures that were very hard to understand, especially in regard to their treatment of women and sometimes children. Here are few things men can do for a change regarding their children.

HAS EVERYTHING WORTH INVENTING ALREADY INVENTED?

Some times I look back and revel in  the great things that the great men have invented. Most  of these men did not have quality education we  have today. Also their is no internet access which can make research work easier and efficient. Yet, the inventions of these men in the past centuries cannot be compared to the  few (mostly improved version of what these men had already invented) inventions of today. This makes me wonder ...HAS EVERYTHING WORTH INVENTING ALREADY INVENTED?
