The Give in World

I saw the best minds of my generation

black markers in hand

applying them

to piss stained walls

Howling at the mooooooon

rhyming it with May

drowning in beer

killing fears

calling each other dude

high five!

awesome!

I saw the best minds of my generation

dressed as

cardboard cutouts

in therapy

wanking to

live porn

wiping grease

off burger chins

fearing for death

of unrealized life

I saw the best minds of my generation

destroyed by -

the best minds of my generation

We Are No More ...

I saw the best minds of my generation implode within the cosmic nebula brought upon them by a taunting maelstrom brimming with electric fury that decimated everyone the second an eyelash fell from the lower edge of my blinking eye. We are no more ...

Promises

I saw the best minds of my generation

Stuck

Down-right

Fucked

I saw them scratching their way through a

Master's

Then serving up French fries and Quarter Pounders

I saw the best minds of my generation

Dead

Tapped-out

Bled

I saw them stale next to a suicide note in a greenhouse

And then face plastered too late to come up as a god before

I saw the best minds of my generation

Tired

Worn-down

Flat

Sifting through piles upon piles of folded pink letters

And burning them with a flipped bird to the wind for good riddance

I saw the best minds of my generation

Confused

Over-drawn

Questioning

The seeds from which they were sown are the ones that have trampled

And then left them alone to pick up jagged pieces with soft hands

I saw the best minds of my generation

Dreaming

Far-reaching

Building

On fantasies we believed were always attainable if we just worked

And then dragged back down into the abyss of reality we knew not of

I believe I will see the best minds of my generation

Rise

Lift-up

Fight

Against the pre-inflicted oppression of pockets and races

And feed dead sentiment fistfuls of its own ashes

What I saw with my eyes

I saw the best minds of my generation 

stand and watch a bully 

rise to the podium

I saw the best minds of my generation

create another holocaust while trying to heal a genocide of hate.

I saw the best minds of my generations

turn the words I love you into a battle cry.

I saw the best minds of my generation

throw their brains in the trash to adopt this new trend of hate.

I saw the best minds of my generations

doubt the young people 

and saw their interest in politics as a trend.

I saw the best minds of my generations

draw a pipeline through my history book.

I saw the best minds of generations

suck the color out the sky

and divide it  into sections

black or white.

I saw the best minds of my generation

paint a rainbow in blood

I saw the best minds of my generation

entertain fear

I saw the best minds of my generations

try to grow flowers out of the darkest corners of hope.

Try to develop new colors with the  colors black and white.

they took the bones of the dead and cracked them 

open and found the scrolls to the answer of universal peace.

But I saw the best minds of my generations

line up tanks while trying to create peace.

I saw the best minds of generations

be inclusive but they forgot the minorities.

Yes, I saw the best minds of my generations 

create life while creating death 

and shooting ones who were fighting for a better future,a better tomorrow in hopes of meeting the horizon.

I Saw Them Fall

I look around at the poor weary souls around me. 

All we know is work.

Working to carry to world of tomorrow into the world of your dreams.

Working to stop the world from suffering.

Even though we still can't get over our own problems.

How do you expect us to save you, when we can't even manage to save ourselves? 

I saw the best minds of my generation fall around me, succumbing to the darkness of themselves. 

They drop to the ground, either dead or unable to move.

We work until our dying breath, just to prove to ourselves we didn't fail you.

Sorry we couldn't meet the bar.

Maybe you should put within sight next time.

Jelly

I saw the best

Minds

Of my generation

Riot

Protest

Celebrate

Artificially enhanced bottoms

Wonder

How a reality TV star 

Was chosen

To lead us

Like lemmings

To our downfall

THAT’S WHY OUR SOULS DIED

I saw the best minds of my generation

They have dream but aren’t interested in realizing it

I’m going to be the best governor, teacher or lawyer

They see the success and achievement of their family

But neglect the hardship and failure behind those glories

They flaunt about what their parents own

And ignore what they really have

The only thing that matters is the money

Is the reputation

I’m standing on the top

Watching my generation sink into endless imagination

Their fantasy grabs their roots

Stabs into the rich soil, and grows thicker to grasp those yellow dirt

Brings all the roots toward the core of the Earth

Locks them to the narrow dungeon

Till the sun erodes the planet, and the land collapses into pieces

I’m standing on the top

Watching my generation fall into dreary wayside

They keep falling into the abyss which was created by themselves

I saw the best minds of my generation

Some of them awoken by the reality

And some of them are still immersing in that backwater

They can’t blame anything or anyone

Because it’s the time for them to swallow their pride

And embrace their graves
