I
see a generation of critics lacking common sense
A
generation that thrives on judging to perfection and ignoring the exceptional
An
artist lip syncs for the inauguration out of respect that the day is for the
president and not her
Critics
and fans call her a fake and question her ability to sing until proven
I
see a generation that fails to consider another person’s views or feelings
Shouts
of opinions and no rest given until the other concedes to being wrong
A
generation that bullies when they are supposedly threatened
Threatened
by ways of life that don’t impact their own but no other way is allowed
I
see a generation that kills the hopes of the dreamer just because their idea is
not “in”
A
generation that claims to be independent but wastes dollars and time to be
accepted as the same as those around them
The
latest fashions, the newest songs, the coolest dance moves, the most recent
social network, party trends, diets, alcohol schemes
So
much effort to wonder why nobody sees your uniqueness and beauty when it is hidden
behind layer after layer of makeup and false masks of personality
I
see a generation that is confused and lacking of the impeccable and the
sincere
i like how close your version relates to Howl, i can see the deep thought that you put in to capture the idea.
ReplyDeleteThe common thread in several lines seems to be a lack of individuality or a pack mentality. Indeed, there's always someone "in" or the outsider who doesn't fit.
