The word generation is weaved in confusion
Amongst intellectuals, analysts, and debaters
Demarcation is always uncertain
loose like a jute bag
Allowing needling needles
Historians debate your length
Thirty or more years
Others confuse you with silver jubilee
Public commentators pile, pad with extra years
As if figures per se constitute your identification mark
Names in favour and against pasted
Adulterous generation our Lord denounced
Wasted generation Nobel Laureate deprecate
Baby boomers Americans carpet
Oil boom, is oil doom generation they say
Is the spanking of a generation
a generation gap spanking
Awkward value packing
A generation hacking, harassing
The old as old school
Yet old things are swallowed to the marrow
Originality and discipline they declare enemy
A generation of old song remix
Certainly a parody
But given the air of originality
A denizen of school cultism demonism
dubbed socialization
Examination malpractice digitalized,
Cheating without trace
In the face of forensic audit
Generation of 8 As in high school
Less than one hundred score in college pre entry
Three hundred and seventy score in college entry but slim pass through college
Nudity, tattoo on buttocks
a way of life
Some wink
Others look the other way
Categorize it as half or full
As if half should be hallowed
Glorified as creativity, choice
Does the choice elevate decency and human spirit
One generation my Lord once asked
What shall I compare you
Children playing game but hardly recall what had taken place
Soaked in violence, situational ethics
Generation of stray bullets
As if guns are not triggered
Building pejorative bridge of criminality
Sullied name for many
Have your inventions balance the evils of your time
Internet curtail immorality, duplicity
Glamour checkmate sex scandals corruption murder
collective waywardness
World class cars reduce accidents,
Abracadabra in science, religion and social life ticket to peaceful world
Why do you celebrate this generation
Where grey is dominant colour
Discrimination, ethical orientation gone astray
Straight talk reject, glorify watered downs
Condemnation hated, as it sparks uneasy fire
Discomfort for distorted ways
Are there not good in this generation
Is it sown in evil, reaped in evil buried in evil
Does a generation critically identify its generation
Deprecate its degeneration
Differentiate its generation
Aggregate new condition for another generation
That will not exceed its degeneration
That is the work of a generation that will not waste
One to align
Generation its recall sends sweet memories
Its rendition after fifty years or more flutes
Meaningfully to old and new
Quality not transient,
Relevance not ephemeral
Values not decadent
Spirit enduring
That is my generation
Whose generation is the other
Condemn it if it is yours
Live for a generation regeneration
Not its degeneration and degradation
