They say we are the future

I say they are too close-minded

They say we are the generation of change

I say “what change can we make, when given ancient values?”

They say we are the hope

I wonder what hope they speak of

They say we are too wild

I say we are independent

They say we are rebels

I say we are original thinkers

But how can this be, when we are also the past?

How can this be, when fed the morals of generations past?

How can this be, when we have no hope?

How can this be, when we think for ourselves?

How can this be, when we simply understand more?
