Dear Boomers Our generation isn't entitled, or lazy So take off those rose colored nostalgia glasses if you think I sound crazy You dealt us this hand, not The WW2 babies or even before them You dealt this to us and we're trying to do better, even though our hope seems slim The fact is only profit concerned you, not the future children that would populate this earth Now we have poison in the air, melting Ice caps, an economy that doesn't work for us, and knowing this physically hurts. You could've spoken up and said "Wait, what will our children have to deal with? " But you chose to get ahead by any means necessary. And you call us entitled and spoiled because we don't think unbridled greed and crushing everyone in our path is hereditary. So to the baby boom generation, you lit this fuse on the earth, and we're trying to put it out. You can scoff, and say we're lazy, we should just go out and get construction jobs that aren't here, and you can try to break us down with doubt But a storm of changes is coming, and I can guarantee you will be caught in the tide. So laugh all you want, because into a better future is where I aim to ride

I ask you to do one thing Pump blood around the body The rhythm is key For I live on the fitting melody Fight if you must, The pain is just the crust Throughout all that is unjust Success is at stake, as is my trust But you betray me, while I fight Deceive what feeds you day and night How do you go on? What gives you strength? The way you work astounds me I thought I was the labyrinth To bind another with a spell Do I fuel your power? Or is it all just me myself and I Ignorantly undercover? If only one of us could live Without sharing the shadows of the other Then again, what is life all about If we don’t cross the finish line together?

From Me To You
