The people say...

"Standards"? Standards!

Tell me, what's our yardstick?

We've reduced gold to clay,

degraded in every way

and called it "societal standard."

They say no other generation comes close.

We raise our shoulders and walk with heads held high.

Whereas in real sense...

We're pumping our essence into a hose.

We bought the monthly X subscription—

Better information, ease, and access?

Or a platform to gossip and brew chaos?

What did you buy?

We bought the latest iPhone—

Durable software,

or just another tool of jealousy and envy?

What really, did you ask for?

What did you buy?

They say we're fast moving.

Indeed!

A generation moving too fast to stop.

Too fast to read.

Too fast to think.

We run back and forth,

oscillating between materialism and fame.

They also say—

you can't harvest mangoes in an apple orchard.

You can go round and around,

but it's one verdict:

Generation Z—

the people who chase shadows

and expect dividends in gold.

Individuals who fail to see principles hidden in plain sight.

Generation Z,

we chase shadows…

but it’s time to lock in.
