the new generation by Erika .

Posted on September 21, 2009

Every generation has the obligation to free men’s minds for a look at new world’s…to look out from a higher plateau from the last generation.
- Ellison S. Onizuka

I think I can hear the thunder rumbling in the distance right about now. The clouds approach the hills and embrace the naked sky of oblivion….I can feel the wind pick up as it brushes against my skin, electrically….it gives me goosebumps.
I feel the storm forming in my mind and the lightning burning up the horizon, for I know the new generation has arrived….

  • Mikyle

    Mikyle

    Yes erika, we have arrived. And we shall take the world by storm… x

  • Erika .:

    ah Mikyle! I just love how we’re on the same page! It’ll should be quite interesting taking the world by storm don’t you think? ;) xx

  • Mikyle

    Mikyle

    Very interesting indeed… As you said… It will be electric.
    Oh, and I love that quote by the way… for me, that sums up my theory of the evolution of man.(or what the evolution of man should be)

    And this line of yours…
    “I feel the storm forming in my mind and the lightning burning up the horizon…”
    These words are brilliant! So intense, and for me sums up how this fresh wave, this new all powerful, electrically charged train of thought is literally going to burn up the horizon – old ways of thinking and living… How exciting!

  • Erika .:

    Yes! Isn’t that quote just brilliant! As soon as I read it, I thought of you and what we’re thinking of doing. It sums up the theory of the evolution of man in the mental and spiritual sense I think! If you think about it, every generation must bring in something new in order for man to progress. I think it has a lot to do with ways of thinking and living like you said. Once people “wake up” will man continue to progress and evolve…..oh Mikyle! I always have so much to say! and so little space!
    And so glad you liked that line!
    So intense, and for me sums up how this fresh wave, this new all powerful, electrically charged train of thought is literally going to burn up the horizon – old ways of thinking and living …YES! ahhh! So exciting indeed!!! xxxx

    wow i think i’m in love. in the sprit of the brittish romantics, of the french existentialists, of the american beatniks, may redubble’s new generation of literary legends be born amidst the dawn of a new decade, the start of this new internet era, may we be bold and daring and determined to lead literature forwards amid the stagnant pages that fill the modern shelves of modern bookshops. may your prologue to this generation be recited in years to come xxx

  • Erika .:

    oh wow! What inspirational words Barnsy! And you know what’s amazing? That there are other like-minded people, young like-minded people! Just look at the people who commented above, and you will see that the internet is really a very useful for bringing together the great minds of the next generation, truly the future of the world is in the hands of the new generation.

    “Redbubble’s new generation of literary legends” ah, just love how you said that!

    Yes, may we be bold and daring and determined as you say, I know I am. This is what I feel I need to do…now we all just need to come together at some point.
    Oh read this too please! The human awakening
    I’ve got other pieces if you’d like to take the time to read, and written pieces from some of my friends here on RB, if you’re interested enough I can link them to you.
    Thanks for reading again! :D
