Oh present generation, how wicked thou art!
You ate all you’ve got, and at the verge of eating all I would ever have.

How hopeful and excited I was of my birth day, thinking of all the gifts and warm welcome of my arrival. Oh present generation!
My hopes seem dashed; when I consider what the present generation has and is doing to itself. Not only is the present, pressed and depressed, my future depletes also. Oh present generation!

Oh present generation, how wicked thou art!

How hopeful and excited I was of my birth day, thinking of all the gifts and warm welcome of my arrival. Oh present generation!
My hopes seem dashed; when I consider what the present generation has and is doing to itself. Not only is the present, pressed and depressed, my future depletes also. Oh present generation!

Oh present generation, how wicked thou at!
Should I be left all alone, to bear the pain in my time, of the evil in this present generation? Oh No present generation!
The evil that men do in their present should not only live after them, but with them.

Whatever you’ve turned your present to, that affects the future negatively, the lamentation of the unborn child, includes you.
Choose to do it differently, wherever you are and in whatever you do, to affect the generation after you positively.
The unborn generation, laments!
