Helpless

Today's youth is utterly helpless. Every day we are fed a slew of mass media which so readily informs us of terrible on goings in the world. One would think that it is good to be conscious of current events. But with so much power given to the media, they tend to trample us with information, most of which concerns bad news. It reaches a point where one becomes desensitized. The youth is not clueless. In fact, we know too much. We are aware that we are powerless and there is little to nothing we can do about. So instead, we just find ways to forget, like booze and drugs. Theres no mass youth movement going on, but there are a lot of kids getting fucked up behind societies back. What are we supposed to do, go on a rampaging protest? Yea sure! Except for the fact that youth today simply connects successful rebellion with the 60's, and to us that's old people stuff. Our rebellion is more of the failing type. The "I couldn't care less" type. I went to a protest lately. Sadly I got more satisfaction out of screaming and acting obnoxious then I did fighting for something that is right in my mind. Why? Because I've been led to believe that in this corrupt world I don't have the power to make such a difference simply by standing up for my beliefs. Big Brother will always have one up on me and the rest of the world's youth no matter what we do. We are helpless.
