A free verse poem about "Our" generation. |
T.V. is our education Automated teenagers drive automobiles on illegal autobahns as our minds are evaporated into smoke Failed kidneys pump impurities from damaged souls that cry out for attention Hazy minds spark rebellion into an explosion of ignorance and hate No common goal No common enemy We blindly march on A fear of love starts mass hysteria as abusive lovers bring ugly colors into porcelain skin which shatters into a million pieces as victims cry out for help They had done nothing wrong Not just physical but mental blows are exchanged playing mind games with smoke and mirrors magic tricks which we know do not exsist Mind freaks and amateur Criss Angels astound others with their skill and abilities to harm others and themselves They feel powerful for once in their life Social butterflies crash into venus fly-traps that we know as popularity acceptance and love Celebrities are our false idols and living representation of God We follow the flow of the group and waves the celebrities make to keep our heads above water while those who are still original are drowned in the undertow Disney movies create false images of romance Too simple Too innocent These movies fail to teach us a vital lesson in life Love is not easy Acceptance is craved popularity is our aspiration and love is a lure that brings us into the jaws of death This is our generation... Unsung, unknown, and unloved... Originality is dead... Our hearts have bled out from constant breaks... No love for fellow man, no love for our earth, no love for ourselves... |
