I used to watch the 6 o clock news. I used to be concerned about a defective chad. I used to think I could change the world. Get out they said and raise your voice. Get out they cheered and spread the word. You are the new generation. The generation of change. The generation of many voices singing in harmony. One rhythm of peace and prosperity.
I was wrong
I now watch the entertainment channels. Weekday specials and season finales. My only concern is what now hangs from my belly. I sometimes rearrange the living room. Raising my voice when I stub my toe. Every other weekend I get out and cheer. Cheer for my kids soccer goal. I am the new generation. The generation of subservient behavior. I am the collective of one voice. Droning out with the work force. Each waiting for the hand that feeds us with debt and despair.
I used to watch the news. I used to be concerned about my president. I used to think I had a voice.
I was wrong
