We who were cursed at conception
blame the ***** that stooped
at the sight of condoms
and spilled this weak seed
for our misfortunes.

Look around you and see
our saviors conjuring gold and silver
in the ruins of our poverty,
the poverty they vowed to crush.
And what do we do?
We fight.

Armed with Tecnos and Itels in our hands,
we caress our gadgets
hurling weeping and furious emojis
beneath headlines of corruption and inflation,
while some of us fight in free verse
to gain nothing.
What a pitiful generation!
