Millennial

I'm from.a forgotten era

I tie my shoes 

One foot at a time

I cross the sidewalk

And look both ways

I don't have an automobile

I can't afford to drive

You are from past 2000

3000 A.D

And a peculiar time

I don't know what to tell ya

But you will be good in time

There are so many things foreign to me

And you wouldn't know the things 

That brought me glee

And harmonious tunes

That made me jump.right out of my seat

You are filled with brooding attitude

You are millennial

And so what

I'm from the 70's

The eighties

The nineties

And the 2000's

And I have more than a few things 

To teach you

Not everything is black or white 

Depends on context

And every shocking thing

Looses subtext

At face value

There is more gray area 

Than you will ever know

If you never expand your horizons 

You will never grow

You're a millennial

So what 

I'm 42

I probably like 105 in your years

But I have more than you know

Like a father figure 

Or father role 

A child doesn't know diddly squat

I don't undermined your intelligence

You know more than I did at your age

I'm telling the truth

And your full of angst

You're bitter

I'm not
