Our Generation


Our generation will be known

For nothing valuable

We worship tangability

Money over matter

But really

Money is all that matters

To be beautiful is incorruptibility

Appearance is nobility

But is the surface

Something of worth?

Power corresponds

To virtue

Anything treasurable

Is the opposite of our focus

Sooner or later

We will destruct

And I hope

By then

It will reverse

Realizing the true 

Useful possessions

Are things we can barely call that
