I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by Snapchats, left swipes, number of likes and screen-lit nights Destroyed by 4 second nudes and the two buttons that make 4 seconds infinite By searching amazon prime for a suicide prevention kit By taking one sip too many and ending the night with plenty of tounges down your throat By Geebs with too much milk, opinions stronger than silk Both good yet impressionable and easy to lose control By LED light seeping into the numb soul of the follower searching for love on Google Destroyed by the vibration of a body-count notification Destroyed by that first battery-powered rip, desperate for a trip thats not to the therapist Desperate to feel addiction, the need for need combined with heriditary greed Addiction lowers suicidal thoughts, craving the next day to take your next shot Shots of *****, shots of hate, shots at children, all shots are great We feel alive when we hear about death, we finally appreciate oxygen breath
Destroyed by the friendships lost over hillary vs donald Waiting for the day we get old, so that we have a say & we’ll look back and realize these are suppossed to be the good old days The days spent sitting in metal chairs next to the boy with ***-smelling hair Destroyed by the fear of never being enough because college prep means you are on track And on track means you’re two steps back The princible said “cover up” to the girl with the huge rack Every eye that is layed on you is a personal attack
Behind the scenes of these ******* memes is self deprication and pain that we somehow all relate to Waiting for the iphone x to come out so that we can feel brand new Destroyed by depression becoming the media’s new obsession Destroyed by the inability to jump into a TV screen and live a different life Destroyed by your ****** up families strife The ‘correct’ kids words cut like a knife Destroyed by the fact that there is not enough beer in the world to drown all your fear About the fact that your stuck in high school for at least another year
This my 2018 adaptation of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl"
