Our Generation

by S. W. Elliot

The booty shaking, provoking of fights;

The laughter at someone else’s misery;

Babies having babies. Girls thinking it’s cute;

Boys having more sexual partners than their mothers' ages and theirs put together;

“Our Generation” and I use this term very lightly;

Society teaches us to be like these “role models;”

Females wear clothes so tight that they can’t breathe;

Males do anything to acquire money, fame, and power;

Mothers don’t teach their daughters how to be women

because they are trying to be their friend

or weren’t taught to be a woman themselves;

Fathers not even in the picture to teach their sons how to be men;

More man than they will be;

And this is “Our Generation;”

The killing, the wanting to be involved, the wanting to be loved;

So many diseases, so many pregnant teens;

All of this could have been avoided;

Condoms, birth control, not having sex at all!

The solutions to this

All of this because all children want is a mother’s love, a father’s protection;

The ideal picture of how a family should be;

Violence, hate, “love,” obesity,

having unprotected sex, babies having babies,

boys trying to be men,

how society wants us to be portrayed;

And this is what “Our Generation” consists of…
