Brainwashed Generation

we are a brainwashed generation our once vibrant minds have turned grey from all the pollution in the world we are no longer innovating, just reusing old ideas and trying to make something out of nothing we aren’t catching on to what is happening outside of our homes it’s like instead of a brain, an X-box controller has crawled inside our heads and taken over we are so accepting to violence now that we don’t even flinch at the idea of someone being beheaded and depression is just another thing being lumped into our daily routine we’re so used to anxiety that we haven’t even lived without the fear of living every outside-the-box thought that comes to our mind is immediately repressed, that’s probably why we can’t focus in school our minds are yearning to explore and live life outside of a TV screen that they have become a black abyss where the unaccepted creativity has gone because math equations now take priority but at the same time our minds are programmed to categorize everything to the point where we examine someone and throw them into a category of who we think they should be. isn’t that sad? we judge someone before learning who they are. who their favorite bands are, what books speak to them, and why they always stare at the moon a little longer than they should maybe it’s because we see someone who has a quirk that looks like pink and we wish that instead of being so grey we could have a color of our own. m.r.

A very hard-hitting free verse Megan. So truthful, and tragic!
