Post Generation X

My generation. So to speak

I was born in nineteen eighty 

A birthday kind of hex

My pinnacle is cynical 

Post generation X 

I was Ronald Reagan's love child

Born in a cabbage patch

A Grand Theft Auto Legacy

My key was in the latch 

Instant access pornographic 

The moonwalk slid on by

Berlin wall Disintegration 

When space junk lit the sky 

Madonna Manson Flava Flav

Explicit in content 

Acquitted OJ Rodney verdicts

Justice was circumvent 

 Intern's smearing semen stains

A minstrel lost his head 

Shotgun automatic weapons

When Columbine ran red 

Elect a privileged simpleton 

Flying the terror skies

Concrete and steel disintegrate 

Allah's extremists rise

Tweeting Facebook global village

I've never met my friends 

Spyware information data 

tracking how we spend 

The world that we inherited 

A swindlers debut

Exploitation of the many

to benefit the few 

Carbon monoxide crack pipe dreams 

The climate change complex

The Wal Mart peasant under class

Post generation X 

Author's Note

"When space junk lit the sky" Is a reference to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
"A minstrel lost his head" is a reference to Kirk Cobain's Suicide. The rest of the poem is gravy.
