And they say
we'll never see half as
much as they did.
It's true that we never saw Vietnam
or World War II. We didn't see our mothers
cry when John
F. Kennedy died. We never sat in front of
our TV screens in horror as we heard the news of
the Columbia crash.
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;
Virginia Tech
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.
