This Generation

People keep saying that I’m aggressive But never ask why I choose to be Even though the answer isn’t simple Let's just say the people of this world Destroyed the innocent version of me that I used to be Misplaced trust, betrayal, heart break And the constant denial and dishonesty The way people walk around As if they have no ounce of humility In their body And yet this generation asks “Why don't you trust me?” Well because their mouth is the gun And their words are the bullets Every time I let my guard down They reload it and won't stop shooting me I look around and ask “Where's the hospitality?” Hurt people walk around and hurt whoever Together as if they know nothing About having their own morality There’s nothing wrong with the world But something wrong with people within it Everyday someone gets scarred Because of someone's pain They use as an excuse to inflict brutality We all got our own demons But the biggest one is our mentality Trapped in a realm of this generations Corruptness mainly focused on sexuality A girl will say no and yet the male Continues to touch her sexually A girl will want attention So she’ll pick a guy and tell her ‘story’ She could sit in the courtroom and yell “That man touched me!” And the whole time she’d be lying While the other girls in this world Actually have that hidden story within them That they’re fighting and constantly denying And could possibly be denied the right of justice Because too many girls who seek attention Make up the same story lines, as if it's right This generation influences The wrong impression of love Where the masculinity dominates the femininity very physically The way we joke about sex As if there’s no value over someone’s virginity I hate how we all in someway Lack sensitivity and even even empathy The way we hate on other Till the point where they too hate their identity And yet the people of this world ask “Why would someone ever consider killing-?” No finish the question But they won't because they know That they're the answer Words, rumors and bullying Have a way of infecting someone's mind And life then starts spreading like a cancer Yet people keep on saying that I’m aggressive But now you know why I choose to be Even though the answer isn’t simple Let's just say the people of this world Destroyed the innocent version of me that I used to be

I appreciate your lines of serious thought. We live and cope as best we can in a world filled with greedy, selfish people.
