I am not an exception

We are the apathetic youth

We are the ones who see the problems

And yet

Don't do anything

Won't do anything

To bring about change.

Laziness and procrastination are our plagues

Our parents and grandparents threw rocks

Back in the day

But we can't even muster the energy to pick up pebbles

Instead

We get angry

And turn even more into ourselves and our egotistical worlds

Focus more on the people focusing on us

We flout our opinions but refuse to follow through

When action is suggested, we shrink back

We will not volunteer.

We are self-aware subjects who will not take a stand

And when the world ends

We will be the ones proclaiming "I told you so!"

Never realizing our own hypocrisy.
