We walked a path, but not together
You walked it while danger slept
You walked it in sunny weather
You walked through on fields of heather
You walked while the streams ran wet
Legend is his species
Yet he sleeps for not being slayed
Deep below, below earthen dirt
Treaded on years after days
Sound a-sleeping and sound silent,
But vibrations have been felt
This 'Glow Up'
It wasn't started with a filter,
or a grand weight loss journey.
It started when life got hard.
Give up your toys,
happiness doesn't meet reality.
Our Differences
Hold your tongue tightly
It is vile and inconsiderate
Speaking pompous things to
Put your generation above me
And I say to you, silence
Our lives are not the same
Generation of telecommunication
Unplug your cellular devices
turn your head away from the screen
Witness the slave trade train arriving at the station
My generation has been bred into stupidity
A government issue codependency
High on freedom then drowning in debt
I still can’t balance a checkbook yet
Do you hear those sounds from up above
Not from the trees but from the birds and the bees
Those sounds from earth that give us girth
And let us stand tall rather than to fall on to our knees.
Simple fickle peaceful minded
With fire and angst motivation for days
That's what it takes most days
Days without her loving touch.
So the ground's been leveled in the orientation arena
Mindless and attached
Is what I’m not.
Nauseous with a headache
Am I dying?
Oh, dehydrated.
The derivative of cosine?
Let me paint a picture of my generation.
It's as if we all suffer from a self-induced aberration.
We don't think, we just do.
Where we sink, others flew.
It kind of stinks that we can't see our potential,
We College Kids. We
ear-buds in. We
American Dream. We
hooked on caffeine. We
procrastinate. We
stay up late. We
deep in debt. We
overslept. We
The day of our epoch will forever be
remembered.
None shall ever dare say that our generation
I am a part of a generation that no one seems to give two shits for.
Apparently, we caused myriads of people on the internet to say,
"I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
