half as much

they say we'll never see half as much as they did. it's true that we never saw Vietnam or World War Two. we didn't see our mother's cry when John F. Kennedy died but we've lived our whole lives being told that we're just not good enough. we've seen anorexia and bulimia because skinny just isn't skinny enough. we saw Columbine and watched the Twin Towers fall. we've seen a lot of greed and even more hate. our generation fights a different kind of war but we've seen just as much as them.. and maybe even more.
