Born in transition
Called to contrition
Back blast of the baby boom
Changeling children, harbingers of doom
9/11, Columbine
Black lives matter, Occupy
Neutral pronouns, ardent lives
Perennial
Millennial
My g-g-generation
Bound for d-d-damnation
Trapped in a world we did not design
Underpaid, yet much maligned
Genderqueer and gentrified
Student debt and suicide
Got no cash but lots of pride
Perennial

We’re already on the ground
Kick us while we lie around
Perennial
Millennial

Don’t try n’ tweet what we all say
Or just maybe raise our pay?
