New Generation

What are we gonna show to the new generation

How dumb we were what we posted on Instagram

In 5 or 10 years we’ll think we look a little dumb

In 10 or 15 we’re starting to feel ashamed
  
In 15 or 20 we will say that is not who I am

They took it out of context even though that’s what you said

In 20 or 25 we don’t want to think about how we looked away

In 30 or 35 now you’re talking history books online

Your grand kid grabs your phone and does a google search

Sees with their own eyes Grand Pa was in
And wanted the country overthrown

Flew his flag upside down rode around with
Let’s Go Branden on his tail

I thought Pa Pa was so smart now I read he was an imbecile fed on orange lies

Wound up in D C on 1/6 the day of the insurrection

Knocked down a cop beat him with a thin blue line flag

Broke some windows and kicked it in
Now he was defecating on Pelosi’s rug

Orange man got back in and pardoned
Him in the West Wing

So my 5 year old did a google search
Now she won’t go near her Pa Pa he scares her

I have to get to work without a babysitter
So I call Pa Pa but she screams and shouts
I won’t go with a traitor

Seems she did a google search
About being  true to your country and patriotic

Author's Note
Still can’t wrap my head around a convicted felon getting in the White House. Cops voted for a crook, Veterans voted for a draft dodger, Women voted for a sexual abuser, Christians voted for an epic sinner, people sold out democracy for the promise of cheaper gas and eggs from a man who never kept a promise in his life. Smh
