Privileges of Being 25

by sbutler

Quarter of a century down Still trapped in the same old world A world of part time jobs and no benefits Of living with our parents And hearing about millennial privilege. The privilege of working our asses off And having nothing to show for it The privilege of not going to the doctor Because we can't afford to get sick The privilege of hearing how we're killing industries Because we've found better ways to spend our time The privilege of knowing one in 3 of us has been molested in our lifetime And knowing most of them don't believe us. The privilege of participation awards But knowing the difference between winning and dying Because we can't afford basic medications The privileges of being 25.
