A Letter to our elders from a millennial

We hardly spare you a moment from our virtual space,
Basking in the glory of a million "Likes",
Fiercely unsettled, until that last grey tick turns blue,
While your eager voice once again goes in vain,
Eventually fading from view.
We are a bunch of millennial,
Busy swiping right and left,
We love investing in whatever works as of now,
"Happily ever after" doesn't quite befit our fairy tales yet.
We exploit you as our "Punching bags",
Cribbing about every little thing going wrong,
From hookups to breakups, from sex to stress,
Our generation certainly plays the "Damsel in Distress"!
You introduced us to the world around,
Yet, ungratefully we flash nonchalance in times of your need,
Looking down upon each of your efforts to keep up with our pace,
You see, our generation certainly runs, "The Rat Race"!
