Generation Z's Effect On Me

The world we live in. The one brought to us by past generations.
Their views, outdated opinions.
Told the future is in our hands,
Not even allowed to solve the problems with our plans.
We can change the world! How when we can't achieve our way?
More experienced people have the say.
The world is capable of regeneration,
The coronavirus is just a taste, a demonstration.
Look! The future, a world we can live in, it comes with a fee.
The fear of discrimination and hatred blinds our ideas,
Almost unbearable to hold back our tears.
Solving mistakes, previous generations. Our future nations.
Acceleration of practices in civilisation, the generalization.
And for what? I am a part of Gen Z,
More likely to get a degree. This is useful, you'll see.
Because this whole mess has been inherited by me.
