Time

Life changes and rearranges

So they relocate us to different cages 

The generation that made us 

This outrageous and famous

They proceeded to name us

Everyone said X was bad 

But Y proved to be shameless

A world of technology adapted and turned heinous 

Hackers and criminals, pirates and thieves

The shadows in the night that freely roam the streets

A knife in the sleeve, a knight brought to his knees

A gun to believe a night one perceive

As time passes the rifts slowly decrease 

Government curfew decree, in a time of chaos 

The reality sets in right after the health disease 

Who receives the legacy when the next one leaves

 As one grows old the mind closes but can still feel the breeze

When the time comes either side will willingly hand over the keys

While the other takes the wheel on a ride to be set free. 

But we do understand i feel the same way about Z

Skinny jeans are for girls, cross your legs and drink tea

Cheers to the last of a dying breed

 We followed through with our threats, your not a Gangster to me

Id shank you and leave, 

Wouldn't even run, ill walk away from the scene, 

The beast can always change but 

The 

Sheep 

Will 

Always 

Scream

This was incredible! It felt almost electric as I was reading it. I love your take on the different generations and how they are seen by others. Society has a knack for categorizing and separating us into groups, it seems. We just follow along, like sheep, when we really aren't happy with the way we are being taken. Fantastic piece!
