Edge of NowhereA Poem by ghaw2007Edge of Nowhere Verse 1 Teenyboppers dancing and dying For the latest bands and all things trendy With fragrances, Mohawks and skinny jeans Smartphones displaying more intelligence than them Mommies more limited than they'll ever admit it Frazzled and burnt out in the modern age New inventions create new complications Don't be surprised if we're replaced by robots Verse 2 As we watch procedurals, we become more clueless Snapping out of bad habits is difficult But if we prevail, the reward is great We'll know that we can overcome our addictions Sleeping with the enemy is what your daddy did Until driven away and banished by the state Reparations are never paid to the youth We can't hide from them They see us fully and completely Verse 3 Activism in dwindling supply Unions caving in Will the boss man win? Aliens are seen as the last great hope The antidote to every illness and conflict If you drink the Kool-Aid You'll drain yourself of blood Living in a mad house will be your new home When things become q-ueer and more unrelatable Only the designers can create new styles of living Chorus Let's all join hands and chew bubblegum Make a s-ex tape and gossip all day When we're brand new, we're unlimited But everything becomes tainted Sparks shine a bit dimmer The light is less vibrant And we're pushed closer to the edge The edge of nowhere Written by B.
