Marlboro Kids

We are modern day peddlers,

the Renaissance women.

– Except our paintbrushes look like cigarettes;

Instead of guitars, we rock the babies

of underage pregnancies.

An entire generation,

underestimated,

over stimulated,

– and wrong.

We are modern day peddlers,

this generation X.

Resigned to less than what is necessary to Suffice,

Survive,

Thrive.

Lulled into ignorance,

we do nothing.

–         and we like it.
