Booming Consuming
I just want a house, man.
Always I dreamt of a better world but the
Boomer
Consumers
Destroyed the little bit of
Ecstasy left in the dream of a better tomorrow.
"Figure it out" by abandoning my
Gross consumerism of little coffees and toast in favor of
Hard work, work slave, slave labor.
I don't want to.
Justification of abuse doesn't make the dead any less
Killed by your hand.
Let me sleep on the benches since you've taken
My mattress, my shelter, my food, and my hope.
No, I don't dream of soaring to great heights now but of
Opening a door to a place I call my own and hearing
Politicians care about my life and my strife, not playing a game of
Quieting me and my
Riotous behavior.
Silence meets my future and it weeps for me more
Than the ones who share my blood.
Uprisings would do no good when the
Victors are predetermined by these
War-torn generations laughing at the suffering of
Xennials, millennials, Gen Z'ers and more.
Your hungry wrath leaves food for none and has turned the world into a
Zone of dreamless death.

Woa! This is so similar to the one I just wrote. I think we’re burdened for similar things. This was superb! ❤️
The world is such an angry,desperate place now, and this really describes the divide between those who got while the getting was good, and those who are trying to make ends meet.
