Story of a Gen X (past)

A Gen X in Mabini drifted
Tried to embrace the norm
And be refreshingly reborn
Ended him more distorted

A Gen X metamorphosed into banker
Tried to be what society dictate
Swallowed pride to placate
Ended him more bitter

A Gen X enslaved by a tyrant
Appendage to the machine
Just to survive life’s spinning wheel
Ended his zest for recalcitrance

A Gen X running out of option
The world’s greatest oxymoron
Accepted being a pawn to his bank
A weasel that knows not to balk

A Gen X no more is a Gen X possuer
Like a recluse in a party
Like an atheist embracing the will of God
Like love bowing to reason
Like repression to exercise freedom
Like violence in defense of peace
Like me.
