This Generation
This generation has done no wrong,
For we only live in crippling fear
Of the shortening years
yet to come.
This generation, the children of the baby boomers
Are not the cause of your economic failures.
We have been left to clean up the mess
While you retire with our pay checks.
This generation hasn’t even lived,
Yet we are struggling to make ends meet.
“Go to college, get an education.”
“Get a job, pay for my vacation.”
This generation is young, but not dumb.
You won’t live to see
the striving, growing world
this will become.
We will destroy the hardships
created by the careless,
thoughtless actions of
Your generation.
