When we think about the future
we are weighed down
by problems not our own
with a need for solutions
and hopeless debt
Our generation is left with
more loans and less degrees
specialized jobs and old issues
hateful ideas and new love
When we think about the future
we can see a new age
filled with technology
and so many bright dreams
crushed by this flat world
Our generation is left with
heads bowed to a screen
for hateful comments we see
and kids afraid of what
they really want to be
