iPoem I Beep Ding Ring Vibrate… The sounds of our generation Everything plugged in What’s old is of the past No longer useful ipod imessage iphone ipad…. Our new way of communication Face to face is no longer relevant Unless it’s FaceTime Have this, get that, you NEED this But do we really? Whatever happened to going outside? What happened to genuine relationships? Where did our imagination go? Let’s take the “i” out of everything And turn it into “us” Turn it into “we” But not like Nintendo II Live it up No regrets YOLO… The sayings of our generation Sorry to break it to you But the real world isn’t like “The Real World” Stop trying to make “The Real World” your real world And live in the real world Life isn’t like a reality show You’re not a Kardashian Who’s your Kanye? “Don’t be the B in apartment 23 You’re better than that We’re all better than that” Don’t live like you’re on the Shore Snooki The Situation J-Wow Pauly D… The role models of our generation Is this all we are? There are so many role models out there We just need to find the right ones They’re out there All we need to do is make an effort to find them They’re not far away Just look a little closer for what really matters III Twilight Vampires and Werewolves Nicholas Sparks Friends With Benefits… The love stories of our generation Love is greater than all of these stories We need to rediscover what love truly is We must understand that we don’t “love” ice cream We like ice cream We love our family We love our friends We love God Learn to love not with words But with action and in truth Love is the greatest gift we have received Let’s start treating it that way Unlike “things” of this world Love will remain Love is eternal IV But we have true potential Both a blessing and a curse It brings pressure But can also lead to greatness We have opportunities nobody else has ever had We can join together We can use technology to make the world a better place Not just to play Call of Duty The cards are in our hands We just need to lay them on the table We are the minds The voices The artists The writers The fighters… Of the 21st century We have greatness at our fingertips All we have to do is get off the couch
