Generation X poem
They died with no purpose
They lived with depression
A life full of danger-
destroyed by obsession

We're cradled in fear
Diseased by hate
Caged in disasters
Consumed by fate

Life is screaming,
"let me be"
Death is chanting,
"walk with me"

We are all crazy
Our minds are on edge
Our souls are bloody
As we lean off the ledge

Chained to our destinies
Dead on arrival
Searching for freedom
Bent on survival

Our thoughts are unclear
Our future deleted
Banned from our rights
Our protest unheaded

They died with no purpose
They lived with depresssion
A life full of danger-
Destroyed by obsession

We trusted them
They used us
Wreaking havoc
While riding
a bus
to hell, yelling
"life sucks"!!
falling
in love--off ....
skyscrapers,

Terror is drenching
from our veins
as our hearts
Pump hatred vapors

We love a God of
- darkness of light
We live for the day
Die for the night

We are going nowhere
But moving all the time
Taking out the trash
Scrubbing at the grime

Thats what they callus
The scum of the earth
We've lost all our values
No honor no worth

Stairing in a mirror of despair
looking back
On the dead reflection there

Crying out, Burning tears
Reliving the grief we've
felt for years

Groping pain tears at
Your pride
Finding a hole in
The secrets we hide

They're digging us a grave
to the devil's lair
seducing your concious
misleading your prayers
But....

They died with no purpose
They lived with depression
A life full of danger
Destroyed by obsession
