Everybody here is mediocre
i grew up to watch my peers
and friends
find comfort in absolutely nothing,
a job, a spouse, a house

the baby boomer generation
breeding mediocrity,
all they wanted
was a house and a car and a couple children
a television (large)
and a place to retire
all the while,
leading their kids nowhere
nowhere

they did not inspire
dreams and hopes
only goals and guidelines
laws and work times

it's hard to wake up
and be extraordinary
when the only thing you were ever taught
was to be mediocre

this comes to mind: American Movie
