You made us like this.

Bought us up.

Priced us out.

Raised us

on HD screens.

 

And now you say we're sterile.

Not wild enough for you.

Not a drop of rebellion in us.

Not like the youth you knew.

 

We're the

Politically Correct-

Health and Safety-

Generation.

 

You had;

free love in the 60s,

acid in the 70s,

aids in the 80s,

coke in the 90s.

And what did you leave for us?

 

You made us like this.

Bought us up.

Priced us out.

Raised us

on HD screens.

I've enjoyed all of your poems I've read. Real potential there. If you don't mind I would suggest that you look at the final stanza of this one. The repetition is a good technique but I feel that your build up is stronger than the end.
