Junk DNA

Imma my, my, me, me, meme Millennial.
Why are you being so negative? I am. super special!
My generation breaks all the records.
So close the old museums and libraries
since we make, write, think, dream the best whatever.
I mean, I haven’t really seen that old shit, but I don’t need to.
I just know, mine is better.
I mean, yeah.
Dude, we’re MILLENNIALS!
We set a whole new standard.
Like a bunch of Harry Potters, conjuring the future with our texting fingers,
While the other millions of digits twitch on our micro-triggers.
Imma my my me, me meme
Millennial.
For my allergies and anxiety, I take Adderall.
I got my phy’d at a super progressive home school.
I practically have Autism
What with all the disease killing vaccinations
And still we might. be the last human generation.
“ is there peanuts, gluten, sugar in these muffins?
Were the blueberries organically. sustainably farmed?
Never mind then I’ll just have the Rock Star.”
Where was I? What was I saying?
Oh yeah, we are a mashup of leftover junk DNA .
Who cares if we are half cocked,
And sauntering about in robotic lockstep.
Isn’t all knowledge superficial?
Then so what if I like my intelligence artificial?
Besides, drones are none threatening and sweet!
ever heard of little thing called Occupy Wallstreet?
Yeah bitch, we did that!
Ugh! Why is fake news always about facts.
Ok, maybe it didn’t really change anything
but it had an adorable lending library
and subsequently invented a little thing called activism.
Maybe you’ve heard of that?
Cuz it didn’t exist before us.
So what if we all always laugh in unison?
