"X" is what we have been Called

Generation X,
that's what they label us.
We are apparently a growing zit,
on morality, a leaking pus.
Take a step back though,
where did we come from.
What caused our upbringing,
when did we become dumb?
Oh. We have parents.
They had problems too.
We apparently should have parented ourselves,
and raised them too.
We shouldn't mimic tv,
or be like our parents either.
Monkey see, monkey do,
but we were supposed to do neither.
Be like people,
we never saw.
So perfect beyond reason,
No flaws.
Yet people spoil us,
and then call us weak.
Parents will tell us not to speak,
and then say we are meek.
Limit our growth,
And waste our potential,
But any insult to us,
you're so quick to initial.
You call us failures,
But who did we follow.
Without looking at yourselves,
The argument seems so hollow.
If my kids are to succeed,
I'll be the role model they need.
How can you blame a generation,
when they followed their parents' lead.


I'm not blaming,
Nor shaming.
I'm not preaching,
Nor teaching.
All I'm asking,
is where are the parents.
Where were they,
to be authority figures and deterrents.
When do they admit,
they made some mistakes.
That single parents struggling,
Might have caused some aches.
Kids dropping out,
to take care of family.
Kids growing up alone,
with out anyone to call Grammy.
Feeling alone in their world,
yet they think the world are on their shoulders.
The stress to be the best,
tied to their ankles are those boulders.
Some crumble,
and some fall.
Some sacrifice everything,
to have it all.
But no love,
No bonds.
No emotional pros.
They're just cons.
To escape they medicate.
By medicate I mean the drugs you hate.
The liquor and bath salts.
The coke, crack and weed.
The others not listed,
That they feel that they need.
Escape life,
Rape wife.
Kill him.
Suicide phlegm.
Lies and deception,
after the kids conception.
Leading to broken house,
With one missing spouse.
Or cheating,
and all deceiving.
While the kids sits there pleading.
Til inside you all are bleeding.
I'm not saying,
we aren't the cause of our actions.
But I would be a fool,
if I excluded parental interaction.


Pregnancies getting younger.
Divorce getting higher.
Government getting exposed,
Officials are all liars.
The world didn't just get the way,
Contrary to what people may say.
Crooked is more easily exposed,
as the dirt we keep trying to hose.
Yet the dirt doesn't get expunge.
Instead to something else it lunge.
So many issues,
Not easily solved.
Yet there's always fake solutions,
to which they claim then resolved.
Wonder why situations so bad,
when the solutions are sad,
And pretty much put to the future,
Expecting them to do it with computers.
