Lost Generation

'YOLO' a new discovery that we now live by.

I see inspiration through obscurity

but blurred sights hide life's purities

redirecting us to what seems clear to our eyes

Read between the blurred lines

Our moral values have gradually depreciated 

as we fall victim to the devil's works

forsaking our Creators sole purpose 

we're hell bent on satisfying our yearns

being oblivious to our consequences

we live today like tomorrow doesn't exist

all in the name of YOLO

We walk under the shadow of lust

an essence drenched with love's blood

inciting us to feed the desires of our flesh

while our souls remain impure and unclean

plagued with hatred

selfishness and greed

resulting in resentment towards one another

unity obscured

Obscured unity

In times when we need the guidance of our leaders

whose sole duty was once to lead us

lead us to the edge of self-destruction

Laws have been passed to extenuate our actions

and our ignorant psyches remain oblivious to what is happening

as we purposely indulge in life's variety for our own satisfaction

We live in a distorted generation

where teenagers drink past exaggeration

some drowning in their sorrows

and what we once knew as 'medication' is now used as a drug

with the sole purpose of a radical stimulation

A temporary 'high' that mocks the laws of gravity

How could it though?

That's just pure insanity

In a world where vanity is all that matters

where a person is cool because of his Carvellas

a luxury our parents couldn't afford

or better yet

never even cared about

find it in their hearts not to deprive us of

So even though life's variety entices me with all these things

I stay withdrawn

paying no attention to them

because that's a luxury I cannot afford

or better yet

a luxury I don't need
