Typical Teenagers

To inform the

General public,

“Burnout” is no

College qualification.

Clueless followers,

Robots in training.

Consumed by propaganda.

Brainwashed,

Due to the constant slaughter

Of originality.

Tired of these hipster wanna bes,

Seduced by a mainstream

State of mind.

Indistinguishable beings.

Pant sagging,

YOLO swagging,

Mindless minions.

Think they’re so

Superior.

Incredible,

Astonishing,

Sensational.

Ha!

Quite a laugh.

Listening to the same

Prevalent music.

Over-hyping anything

And everything.

Amazing and terrible-

Horrifically murdered.

They’re like their

Own species.

Preposterous!

Don’t be like

Everyone else!

Open up,

Be you.

Show eccentricity!

Spread peace,

Love.

Don’t give,

Fight!

Be free spirited,

Different.

Refuse conformity.

Reject the system.

Break those

Identical language

Barriers.

Practice individuality.

Quit those

Asinine comments-

“Gonna go jump

Off a building,

YOLO”

NOLO.

Go to school,

Get educated,

Learn.

YOLO is simply

An excuse.

An attempt to

Pardon

Stupid actions.

The phrase is

Simply absurd.

So again,

I implore,

Run

From shameful

Stereotypes,

Or capture and

Kill.

Be you,

Against all other’s will.

Your hipster

Bragging rights,

If ever owned,

Have been stripped.

No more

Hypocritical

Beings.

And remember to

Protest the system.
