This Generation

Poem...i hate college.

i dont have it in me to murder, i cant even kill time

even when im lost in my thoughts my minds a rhyme

and everyones walking around with these empty eyes

reflecting a soul whose never made any type of ties

or been baptized with some type of greater feeling

how do you live your lives when your head keeps hitting the ceiling? 

When Gods above you offering something so much more appealing.

and youre kneeling for your healing when suddenly the revealing

of all your stealing and drug dealing has caused a peeling of your

heart down to a raw layer of finally some type of feeling.

and finally you feel safe knowing you have some type of salvation

in this broken nation of followers transfixed by temptation

not strong enough to handle the deprivation  of modernization

or to go through detoxification from the capitalization that

the media feeds to the minds of the teenage generation

theres this big generalization of college kid characterization

theyre all striving for higher education but its one big celebration

only leading to hospitalization and a generation of mental retardation.

so before your fascination of exhilaration causes your moral dehydration

stand up have some type of liberation from this immoral nation.

I love this. I love how you connect Christ throughout your work, many people are ashamed and it's glad to see that you are not.
