We Are The Generation

We are the generation,

That they knew was able to make the most difference,

So out of fear they blinded us.

They blinded us and showered us with petty vain insecurities

And first-world problems.

They confiscated the true things in life from us,

To prevent us from becoming aware

Of our inheritance in this world,

And to hold onto the old world that they loved so dear.

They wanted to keep their fortune and fame

While greed drives them forward.

The selfish bastards.

 

But they failed.

Because not all fell under

The curtain of illusion and

Blind innocence.

Some of us--

Our eyes were opened to the truth.

Some of us

Despised this insight.

Some of us

Grew bitter from knowing this hard truth.

But some of us

Used this knowledge of the truth to speak out

Only to be silenced by the cowl of ultimate censorship.

They fear us

Because they fear we will realize that

When they are gone

They will leave a stupidly synthesized

Vain and shallow generation

To rule a dying world.

A dying world that they themselves created.

And as they look on from their afterlife

Wherever they may be

They realized that in part and ultimately

It was their fault.

This dying world.

We are living in a dying world.

We must resuscitate this dying world

With a new revival

Or else

It will collapse

Into 

Fire and fury.
