This Generation

Born in this generation 

Born in the wrong Generation 

When love is just a word 

When realtionships mean nothing more than just passing time 

When all we do is care more about ourselves than we do for others 

Where does the loyalty lie 

 

Shooting each other just for the fun of it 

Joining gangs and calling them family just for the heck of it 

Bullying one another because someone is more unique than the others 

How can we call ourselves the future Generation 

When we barely let go of the past..... Generation

 

Hurting one another 

Lying to one another 

Where does the loyalty lie

Fuckboy this and Fuckboy that 

She's a hoe and she's a thot

Her skirt is to short 

Her shirt is way to tight 

It's her fault for wearing something so tight 

Maybe instead of blaming our young girls its time to teach our young males

NO MEANS NO 

It's NOT okay

She does NOT want to be touched 

She did NOT asked to be raped

 

So quick to grow up

So quick to dress up enjoy your youth while you have it 

Don't worry young one you'll grow up soon enough 

 

The darker the berry the sweeter the juice 

Just because she is darker than me and she is lighter than me does not make her or her

or any of them any less of a woman than me

You dislike her because of her color

When she's a replica of your mother

Black is beautiful Black means power

Don't be persuaded by them 

Soon enugh they shall know 

Our up rising is coming soon just wait on it we shall be there soon 

 

Born in this Generation 

Born in the right Generation 

Our time is coming and we are slowly rising in numbers 

Regrouping and becoming more aware of the world around us from a very young age

Some more naive than others but wait on us our glow up is coming soon

So I say friends did we laern something about this Generation

The right Generation 

Our time is here our time is now so take a stand for the right Generation 

Learn from the past 

 

Become our new future 

So I say my friends did we truly learn something from this poem 

That this is the right Generation

No more waiting 

No more standing 

NO more Eric Garners or Sandra Blands

No more Micheal Browns or Tamir Rice's 

or Trayvon Martin's 

becasue this is the 

RIGHT GENERATION

THIS IS OUR GENERATION

SO LETS TAKE A STAND
