Answer:
1 is the current generation which is Z or maybe the millenials. But maybe more on Z. But it could actually be adressing all generations
2 Environmental destruction is the norm and Families stayed together
Explanation:
reason being that
1First they use some sort of free verse poem cause wow does this not have anything a traditional poem should have. Second, it talks about climate change which only the millenials and Z had issues adressed about it. But there is also "work is more important than family" which adresses the problem of the generation before millenials making the millenials who they are.
2Environmental destruction has been the norm even before the millenials were born and even when it has come to light it is still that, so this poem has a ton of ignorance in it. This era has honestly made more people at home and stayed together literally, if this is being figurative as in the love for family, many eras had families that have not stayed together while this one is honestly not too different just that everyone is more isolated(get the pun).
3The situation is already here so we cannot avoid but face against it or help the nexr. From work being more important than family(boomers) to being apathetic(Z). Situational awareness could help but not much. The only thing we can do is by educating everyone in schools about this. And having our voices be heard as well as finding any method to curb some of the capitalist corruption of our generation. In short, it is inevitable as our past generations, millenials or boomers, never helped us avoid this situation but instead either made it worse or just let it happen.
The poet is addressing to the current generation i.e. gen z or the millennials, the last line caught my attention and the problem in inevitable, it can be reduced a bit by educated about it in school.
The poet is addressing to the current generation, i.e. gen z or the millennials, but it could be possible he is addressing to all the generation.
The last line caught my attention as the poet starts the poem with a pessimistic view but if we read the poem backwards the message of the poem become more powerful it destroys the cynical manner. By last line he ends the poem in a positive note that this all effect can be changed if we reverse all the things and the mind set.
The situation can not be avoided as we all are facing it. As work has replaced the importance of family. Situational awareness could help a bit. The only measure taken to reverse the current situation is by educating the younger generation in school the about the work-life balance and by curbing some capitalist corruption of our generation.
Therefore, the poet is referring to the current generation, the last line caught my attention and problem in inevitable, it can be reduced a bit by educated about it in school.
