What was worse?

Growing up back it had it perks. We watched great television and learned how computers worked. But before you dismiss us as a shallow sugary cereal generation, take a look at our life education:

You may have seen your president get shot,
but we see brutal violence in our school parking lot.
You came out of Vietnam with a few heroes,
but there were a lot of deaths at Ground Zero.
You were judged by your color and race,
but that was before school shooting took place.
So life may have been tough back in 1967,
but was it worse than seeing what happened on 9/11?
Was the media pumping you with fear all the time?
Harvard was a famous school not Columbine.
You fought battles overseas
but we fight ones with ourselves daily.

So next time you think you're traumatized and real,
we'll be in the badroom throwing up our meals
