Meme Generation

In the whispers of time, they talk about our generation,
Painting a picture of us as a bit off, morally.
We dance to the beat of societal pressures,
But not in doing shady stuff, just feeling lost.
It’s like a dark place, even darker than coal.

But think about this for a moment—
Why go down this confusing path when there are other options?
I’m from this time, and let me tell you,
It’s not like it used to be.
Remember when finishing school meant a good job and a comfy life?
Now, it’s more like finding out life’s not what you were told.
Sixteen years in school, and all I got is a ticket to being broke.

So, they do what they do for the money,
And I’m not judging. It’s their life, you know?
At the end of the day, the results matter,
As long as they’re not taking from us.

They dive into TikTok and memes,
Doing their thing in a way that’s just us—the meme generation.
In all the jokes and funny stuff, there’s comfort,
A break from the loudness of real life.
So, let them do their thing, let us do our thing.
Hold off on the judgments,
Because in this big picture of life, our stories
Will unfold in their own time.

In the face of all the opinions out there,
We stand strong, waving the flag of our generation.
We find comfort in the short-lived joy of memes.
Don’t be too quick to judge,
Because as we journey through life,
We’re just looking for a laugh that echoes
Through the hallways of our shared experiences.
