We are the average breakers
The slang makers
The Internet lovers
And the too-young mothers

Were the drug addicts, drinkers and killers
The gasoline price fillers
We are the new idea generators
The I'll-do-it-laters

We are the never before seen ambition
The brand-spanking-new competition
The future political leaders
The no longer book readers

We are the 90's reminiscers
The kiss-and-tell kissers
We are the Iphone havers
The would-you-rathers

We are the naughty and nice with its division
The not-so-good at making decisions
But we are also ruling the nation
My crazy-bad-hopeful generation

The author's comments:
I wrote this because I am always seeing things about everyone hating society and our generation. And while I realize that most things about us certainly aren't good, it's part, unfortunately, of who we are as a whole and we have got to accept that. Thank you for reading!
