The Milennials
by Gabe Redel


We are told that Millennials are entitleists.
We say how low
their view of themselves is.
We agree that they are addicted to social media.
We enjoy pointing out
everything that they do wrong.

We need someone to take the blame
so that we look better
in our own mirrors?

But I say
the Millennials are a beautiful generation.
They entertain themselves
with photographs and one-liners.

They love it
when new technology proves them wrong.

They have taken a country
that has declined for generations
because of greed and power
and have thrived on growing the country
with what is small and inexpensive.

They are a special generation.
They are just like my generation.

They are human
and the only thing that’s changed from our generations
to their own is that
we have provided them with the tools
to do exactly what we did with our own lives
on a broader platform.

We craved popularity.
They crave popularity.
It took one to know one.
