brainwashed generation
  we are a brainwashed generation
  our once vibrant minds have turned grey from all the pollution in the world
  we are no longer innovating, just reusing old ideas and trying to make something out of nothing
  we aren’t catching on to what is happening outside of our homes
  it’s like instead of a brain, an X-box controller has crawled inside our heads and taken over
  we are so accepting to violence now that we don’t even flinch at the idea of someone being beheaded
  and depression is just another thing being lumped into our daily routine
  we’re so used to anxiety that we haven’t even lived without the fear of living
  every outside-the-box thought that comes to our mind is immediately repressed,
  that’s probably why we can’t focus in school
  our minds are yearning to explore and live life outside of a TV screen that they have become a black abyss where the unaccepted creativity has gone because math equations now take priority
  but at the same time our minds are programmed to categorize everything to the point where we examine someone and throw them into a category of who we think they should be.
  isn’t that sad?
  we judge someone before learning who they are. who their favorite bands are, what books speak to them, and why they always stare at the moon a little longer than they should
  maybe it’s because we see someone who has a quirk that looks like pink and we wish that instead of being so grey we could have a color of our own.
