MILLENIALS PUT THEIR SURPRISING STAMP ON THE AMERICAN DREAM
Shaped by the times,
Millenials dream
about travel and self
employment—and
staying far off the
corporate ladder.
It’s our party we can
do what we want
It’s our party we can
say what we want
It’s our party we can
love who we want
GENERATION Y: THEY’VE ARRIVED AT WORK WITH A NEW ATTITUDE
…the speed of the
internet has led
the cohort to be
similarly flexible
and changing in it’s
fashion…
and how it is
communicated with…
INSTANT GRATIFICATION IS THE DOWNFALL OF GENERATION Y
Generation Y Going Nowhere,
And They're Fine With That
I sit here and think
about what our world's become,
We laugh and we taunt;
is it really just for fun?
The media has
brainwashed the intelligence we once knew,
To all our morals and
values we simply bid adieu.

This is a great found poem. I feel like it is talking about our generation and the fact that the advances in today’s world do not require us to use our minds anymore. On top of the technology advances, there is the media trying to tell our generation what is and isn’t right. I feel like this found poem is trying to express the way our crazy generation thinks. “It’s our party we can do what we want” and “Generation Y Going Nowhere, And They're Fine With That” express the ideas our generation has about life. I really enjoyed this found poem because it is a very accurate description of “Generation Y”.
