This is yet one more post
about the issues I have with labels...


What do they mean
when they call us Generation X
do our mischieious ways eXcite them

Are they envious of our eXtream lifestyles
or do they see us as eXtravagent
eager to eXperiment with mind eXpanding substances
to eXperience peace

Are they that contemptuous of our idealistic
alltruistic attitudes

Are we their Generation X because we eXasperate them
when we eXtend to them
the same treatment they gave to us

When they eXcluded us
eXploited us
eluded us
wished they could eXecute us

We are eXhausted by their
eXtensive attempts
to eXterminate
everything that makes us
us

They ask us to eXplain our pain
yet when we try to eXpress or distress
we eXpose their unscrupulous ways
and
we are called slanderous
its scandelous

and

It must be genetic
to be so poetic
when we dramatize
our need to eXceed them

To be eloquent
when we tell of their abandonment
that they disguised as
freedom

We are a generation demoralized
by the insolent ways
of our fathers

We surprise them...the way we dispise them

We've been demmed an embarresment
to their seed
our generation of goateed
hedonistic
slackers

Who now stare at them with voyeristic indifference
as they fail to notice our intellegence
or to recognize
that we are nothing more
than the consequence
of their negligence

They sold our innocence
creating in its place
a surealistic void
that we've come to eXcept
as
life

Then wonder why we are belligerent
we are furious
ambiguous
some of us are dangerous
sadistic
masochistic

A Generation forced to be realistic
and
eXcept that we've been mislead

This Generation spawned by X deadheads
will proceed to be incessed at the eXample
that was set
by the Generation that came before us

It was easier to ignore us
than to instore in us
the tools we would need
to
succeed
