Apologies, Gen Z
We own an apology to Gen Z
You are everything we couldn’t be.
At your age, we froze while the world collapsed.
Gen Z doesn’t freeze, you react
We cried when what was promised to us disappeared without a trace
You were smart enough to realize they were lies in the first place
We own an apology to Gen Z
We didn’t do enough, we didn’t want to see
We knew we had to fight, but we didn’t know how
But neither did you and look at you now
We’re sorry we hesitated, didn’t start the ball rolling
And we know that our apology isn’t consoling
Still, we own an apology to Gen Z
We’ve failed you till now, but that’s not who we want to be
When you march for your lives, you march for ours too
We promise to fight by your side if you want us to
You’re as scared as we were, the difference is you pushed through
You did what we couldn’t. Thank you
