Our Generation
Our generation fights a different battle-The war on violence.
We have kids who are taught nothing
But to hate and fight.
Life overwhelms them,
And they grab the gun,
Pulling the trigger
Either on themselves,
Or on others.
Suicide?
Homicide?
Genocide?
They're nothing new.
But things like love, acceptance and peace
Are all foreign.
Kids my own age scare me,
So quick to turn on one another.
Fighting to achieve what?
This day in age we have more opportunities.
But less people willing to try them.
Better role models, but diminishing morals.
Can you tell me why that is?
