Gen Zzz
I wonder how this generation,
fresh out of school,
is going to make it in the work world.
There are exceptions of course,
but most are selfish sloths.
They have been coddled,
argue Google makes them brighter,
than professionals with a lifetime of experience.
Their attention span is shorter than an egg timer.
You have to repeat instructions to them.
Chained to their point of view,
with no clue.
See them with undivided attention,
acknowledge, at any cost.
Therein lies the problem.
They are the invisible generation,
seeking validation,
with a smart phone.
Dismissing higher powers,
wise counsel.
Ahem.
They have to find their way
just like every generation
before them.
I wish I had the patience
to mentor them,
instead of wanting to
castaway
on a summer breeze...
