The Lost Generation by Suffrajet


They were the hope of a better new world

The gleaming blue peak of the great post-war dream

The truth is now seen of their banner unfurled

A lost generation, their waste so obscene


Every advantage and good thing they had

Yet turned it to poison and wasted the gift

They took all the good and they turned it to bad

From diamonds and gold the dirt did they sift


Caught up in possessions, and pleasures, and cash

The new generation laid waste to the globe

They turned all the forests into blackened ash

Revealed in the flicker of cold-lightnings’ strobe


Where go we now when the dream is no more?
What hope is there really to gladden the heart?

Barbarians beat upon the old doors

Ready to tear what is left clean apart.
