Growing up Dicked

by amy-bells

We are a generation, Indeed, a nation, Raised upon foreign warring. Scapegoat aggravation. Bushes and Dicks Clamoring for horror and hoarding. Conspiring against a population, I watch through youthful aging. With my childlike eyes, I see The target they're blaming: Afghan families having more in common with me, Working class American, Than those transparent heirs With the world's wealth and arrogance, Ordering for the villagers' obliteration Through boys from our nation. We are a generation raised On media sensation Of militarized devastation; Animal exploitation; Technological manifestations Providing privacy infiltration. Material attainments; Mental frustrations; Fiat debt enslavement; A nation entranced by Senseless parading. Tempting decadence and Announcements with no evidence. The September bounty of edifice That fell with no hesitance Still echo its unfounded, Preemptive pretenses. This murderous reign; this senseless parade; Advertisement cyclical in their game of charades; Dog on a chain; Famine causing no pain. Permissible opinions To be solely maintained. The damage, the waste, The heinous race and class chase. Oppression remains thoughtlessly dangerous, As moral responsibility brings no attainments. Chowing down on maimed millions Bellowing from enslavement. Fortunately, elder, Rothschild, Rockefeller, or Those above them whom Remain blackened, faceless: Resistance shall come From all places, all ages. Such as this generation of mine Inheriting increasing complications, With the type of America You wish to keep in rotation. I'll carry the flag containing Your mistakes as a symbol, To remind those behind me What not to rekindle. To the Boomer who stews In your white collar suit, Still refusing to shake Your destructive pursuit, Still asking me to lick Off authority's boot: Growing up in this nation, With childhood innocence, I grew increasingly aware Of the land of such ignorance. I had such thoughts since Early adolescence, I was not blind to larger lessons. Only since supported by Actual, factual supported confessions. To the Boomer tied to his convictions, Now will you see- That isn't going to work For us or for me. I'll bring to this world Whatever I please. Which so happens to be Truth, justice, and peace.
