The Next

by Colt - Not entered

A toy you can't play with
it's kept on the wall
has collected plenty of dust 
ever since you could crawl.
That's just what it's like
for the youth of today 
our ideas for the world
they will not go away.
Adults will not listen
they want us to leave
we go on the wall
they've always believed.
Where's the future going?
They are perplexed.
They'll just have to wait
Because we are the next.
they

Reason for writing:

    You always hear about the teens today being the x-generation.
We have good ideas and they think that we will not handle the future very well.
We will.
