they say we'll never see half as much as they did.
its true that we never saw Vietnam or world war 2.
we didn't see our mother cry when JFK died.
but we've lived our whole lives being told we're
not good enough. we've seen anorexia and bulimia
cause skinny just isn't skinny enough.
we saw columbine and the twin towers fall
we've seen a lot of greed and even more hate
our generation fights a different kind of war, with themselves
but we've seen just as much as them
maybe even more.

poems, quotes
