Tell Me

Tell me if you understand this 

Because I don’t. 

I never have, and I don’t think I ever will. 

Let me know if you can read this. 

I see the letters and the words but together they’re unreadable  

or maybe I just don’t want to realize that people say things 

so disappointing 

and dehumanizing 

to all the people that they once claimed to love 

or be 

(we always take the fall) 

So will you tell me a story

of a generation not so long removed

from the times 

the world seems ever closer to repeating? 

No

You don’t need to. 

We are living it.
