Sense Sonnet - Acher

Y Not

Why called the Generation Y?
'Cause followed Generation X?
Hardly tags to exemplify
The striving for better prospects.
Is it just a matter of luck
Gone bad to badder for this gen?
Well, if it's measured by the buck,
The youth do drown in debt they're in.
And there's no coming up for air.
It's for the good of nanny state
To get and keep gens on welfare.
So Y is for a Yucky fate.

The time for better luck is past.
Generation Y's die is cast.
