Renegade Generation

Phantoming my generation I get mesmerized each time I try Most things I see break my heart And at the same time blow my mind Education is no more for liberation But a focal tool of oppression Wealth and generosity are now enemies The former married intimidation And the latter is now kissing annihilation People don't just give anymore without expectation Oh my dear generation So full of many vicious circles Too annoying to elaborate on But the one that always hit me like an avalanche Is the appalling level of our mediocrity Mediocre everywhere left right and centre We,Real McCoy are in a state of cocoon without a flange Intelligence is unfortunately now the new complexity Oh what do I do with all my mama's lessons on simplicity The word merit is now rooted to family name and godfatherism That exasperating word always provoke my thoughts but never my aphorisms In this my ignoble generation Only a few escape the inconsideration While the rest of us are left in a state of gash Haha, though not funny, I like calling it abracadabra My sourish generation, we cry for a solution I hear Revolution, how about I propose a moral revolution How about we all go get a mirror And stare into the eye of that reflection You know the choices to make and the voices to change Morality is within us all, though crumbled in some few But we can still fix this Oh my dear generation, YES WE CAN still fix you.
