What have we become?

Back in the early teenage years,
we all had our fears,
growing up is confusing,

yet we found it amusing,
we didn't care much,

we also didn't share much,
and as we got older,

we saw things a little broader,
we started using more ink on skin than ink on paper,

the simplicity we once knew,
became a history that makes us feel blue,

blue blue what a color to describe sadness,

it used to be easy now its hard to find happiness,

all the stress and pressure for a successful future, 

leaves us confused and lost in torture,
its not easy when success is now a need,
we are like a different breed,
we became less selfless and do things more selfishly,
turning a deaf ear to humanity,
making world peace an impossible possibility,
love is almost out of the equation,
needing and loving someone is now a shameful confession,

money and power is the new obsession,
is this what we want to teach the next generation?
oh What a shame what a shame,
The next generation might as well be nothing but a sham.
