Something a Little More Lyrical

Here’s something I wrote while at work yesterday. I’m starting to realize that I seem very negative about our generation but I’m really not. At least, I don’t think we’re any worse than any other generation. But that doesn’t mean we still can’t be better. So, here are a few of my thoughts on the matter.

Our Stride

We hit our stride in immaturity
Void of knowledge, full of purity
We think we know the price of certainty
But we’re in debt to future mistakes

Thinking we’ve seen all the options
We are only making assumptions
But still we have all this gumption
How quickly the fuel runs out

We feel so young, feel so right
But we don’t have any sight
We could stand to be a bit contrite
But then we’d have to think

I’m not sure about our evolution
Finding our prime with no conclusions
We love our games, forget solutions
The world can fix itself

We’re all for love, don’t value loss
We’ll put complications on the cross
Just nail our hands, blame the boss
While we’re bleeding to simplify

We’ll murder the old, frame the young
The word of God on Loki’s tongue
All the songs have been sung
But we still think we’re original

There’s a similarity in our time
Roman ideology, entertainment’s prime
We’ll waste away in consuming grime
And we’ll be sacked just like the Fall

Sure we’re happy, or at least we think
Vacant minds let intelligence shrink
And though our lives may fill with stink
At least we have the virtual

And so we’re done with all this talk
Pretend to accomplish then we balk
Glorify individuals but join the flock
We never judge the guilty
