Awful occasions
to define a generation
Not what we imagined
how it all happened
We all
grew
up
Onwards and upwards
Past the innocent times in our lives
We live
in a world of distraction
in-action
The nostalgia I feel
for a world that was real
is painful sometimes
But let’s not be swallowed by
the sound bites
Chewed and chewed from a young age
in the narratives they baked for us
Let’s come out blazing
undefined generation
ambivalence destroyed
we fill the void
with our actions, our passion
we don’t play their games
we make our own flames
embers risings
we grow
to resist
