Little Girls Don’t Forget

a poem

By Slgtlyscatt3redPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

My strength lies in my words, and I speak the real truth.

This country has ruined the hope of our youth.

Gen Z is disturbed and confused,

Us Millennials feel betrayed and abused,

Gen X just forgets and tries to move on,

While Boomers are raging against Elon.

If we turn a blind eye

To the corruption on both sides

I surmise, I surmise, that our lives will be

Carbon copies of the movie Idiocracy

And how can we the people, WE,

Justify the ones that murdered the “we”,

Their deaths didn’t matter

What’s happened hereafter?

Our world has turned upside down

Sinking in misery, our opinions drown

A sea of propaganda,

a social media machine,

Like 1984, dystopian terrors

Haunt our dreams

And not even for one moment

Did anyone cry, when the country was broken,

When honest men died.

The government has lied

We act surprised,

But I’ve known all along;

this was our demise.
