Talking About Your Generation

Where are you hippies?
Where are you flower children?
Where are you dreamers on the rise?

You were once the hope for future Generations. 
You were to leave this place better than you found it.
Now what have you done to it?

A generation which believed in peace love and understanding.
Now silence the voices of opposition with guns.
A generation tore down walls which divided us
Now stand by as new walls are built. 

You fought for freedom of speech. 
Now you try to silence those who tried to do the same.

When did you become so jaded?
When did you become so apathetic? 
When did you stop doing what is right?
When did you start doing what is easy and safe?

Your generation said you would teach your children well. 
But have you really? 

2 generations standby and watch as mass shootings become the norm.

You who shouted the phrase books not bombs.
You watch as our education system sinks deeper into the abyss. 

You call us apathetic. 
You tell us how in your day you changed the world for the better.
Why didn't you teach us? 

Where are you hippies?
Where are you flower children?
Where are you dreamers on the rise?
