Dec 2013
The waters stagnant
The wind won’t blow
National laryngitis
And no one knows

And no one sees
Our generations so empty
Were apathetic
So unoriginal and bleak

We haven’t got a voice
We haven’t got a face
Where’s the infinity?
Come on evolution pick up the pace

Where’s the great poets?
Where’s the philosophers?
Abstract artists
All I see are pretentious mindless shoppers

We are the future
We are tomorrow
So let us all bring light
And forego the sorrow

No pensions
Just tension
No security
Conformity

They don’t care
They don’t see
They want what’s now
And what’s trendy

Fakes and phonies they surround me
Actors leading false lives
How oh how will
Our generation survive?
