A poem about the millennial generation... from a millennial.
Gray hairs on young heads. No heads on their beds, but meds in their heads.
With heads in their books, laptops, and phones, their bodies are made up of caffeine and bones. An army of zombies, an army of clones, They play with their toys and their toys play with drones.
I don't mean to drone, the message I'll deliver. The ones who work for nothing forever swim upriver.
Whoa!!
Intelligent!
Such works are highly loved, especially by youth.
It convinces me that kids who grow mature before time are of course floating.. I'm a live example even tough I'm not sure.
Wonderful allusion, imagery.
Thank you for sharing!

I think we should be critical with kind heart. Great poem my friend.
Not my desire and why I just left my last post.
Too much pressure in our world is causing a pressure cooker inside our heads and we weren't born to be just this!
