Us kids need to thank our adults.
They've given us everything we have.
They've given us a body, and a voice along with it.
They've given us a home, and a bed to sleep in.
They've given us an education, and a degree to prove it.
Thank you for giving us everything.
But lets not forget the just as important things.
They've given us the war, and racism along with it.
They've given us gender roles, and the homophobia along with it.
They've given us gangs, and the violence that comes along with them.
They've given abuse, and the scars to prove it.
Thank you for everything you've given us.
But most of us wont listen, or care, we are changing this world.
But we couldn't have changed it without you,
So thank you for everything you've given us.
They've given us everything we have.
They've given us a body, and a voice along with it.
They've given us a home, and a bed to sleep in.
They've given us an education, and a degree to prove it.
Thank you for giving us everything.
But lets not forget the just as important things.
They've given us the war, and racism along with it.
They've given us gender roles, and the homophobia along with it.
They've given us gangs, and the violence that comes along with them.
They've given abuse, and the scars to prove it.
Thank you for everything you've given us.
But most of us wont listen, or care, we are changing this world.
But we couldn't have changed it without you,
So thank you for everything you've given us.
I am not trying to say that all adults are hurting my generation, my only purpose with this poem is to show that not everything in this world is designed for my generations success. My generation is taking the torch of many age old fights that my parents and parents-parents and their parents couldn't finish. ):)
