‘The Lost Generation’ is a sad poem about society that ends with “all this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.” If you read it backwards, each line has an opposite meaning, and it becomes happy.  Source

The Lost Generation 

I am part of a lost generation. And I refuse to believe that I can change the world. I realize this may be a shock, but “Happiness comes from within” Is a lie, and “Money will make me happy” So in thirty years, I will tell my children They are not the most important thing in my life. My employer will know that I have my priorities straight because Work Is more important than Family I tell you this: Once upon a time Families stayed together But this will not be true in my era. This is a quick fix society Experts tell me Thirty years from now, I will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of my divorce. I do not concede that I will live in a country of my own making. In the future, Environmental destruction will be the norm. No longer can it be said that My peers and I care about this Earth. It will be evident that My generation is apathetic and lethargic. It is foolish to presume that There is hope. And all of this will come true unless we choose reverse it.

Backwards:

There is hope. It is foolish to presume that My generation is apathetic and lethargic. It will be evident that My peers and I care about this Earth. No longer can it be said that Environmental destruction will be the norm. In the future, I will live in a country of my own making. I do not concede that Thirty years from now, I will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of my divorce. Experts tell me This is a quick fix society But this will not be true in my era. Families stayed together Once upon a time I’ll tell you this: Family Is more important than Work I have my priorities straight because My employer will know that They are not the most important thing in my life. So in thirty years, I will tell my children “Money will make me happy” Is a lie, and “True Happiness comes from within” I realize this may be a shock, but I can change the world. And I refuse to believe that I am part of a lost generation.

Feel it. The thing that you don’t want to feel. Feel it, be free and let it go.
