The Millennials
We’re growing up
In a world
That we're unsure of
We are another Lost Generation
“Will we survive the next day?”
“What could happen tomorrow?”
“Is today our last?”
All questions
Asked daily
By a Millennial
Because we don’t know
What could happen
Every bombing
Every attack
Starts on a day
Like every other day
But we’re not letting that get in our way
We are happy
We are ready
For the future
Truly believing that we can make a change
The future is at our fingertips
It has been
Since birth
The Next Great Generation is here
We stand up
And speak out
Against civil injustice
We have seen the power
Of media
And now know how to use it
But we are silenced
The Next Silent Generation
Only this time
It’s not our choice
We speak out
And get told to shut up
We speak out
And get told that we are too young
We are marketed to
We are lied to
We are abandoned
Like the Generation before
So many broken homes
So many broken lives
But we are cared for
By parents who love us
Who hover around
And make sure we are safe
But we are rewarded
For trying
For anything we do
We are the creation
Of America’s past
We are America’s future
We are the Millennial
We will change the world
