Not only is the future unwritten, but it also belongs to us.

Lying here,
Full of fear,
They tell us nothing,
Yet expect everything,
A generation without heroes,
Are we a generation of zeroes?
Desperate for a place in time,
Desperate for a meaningful life,
What do we do?
Where do we go?
Who feeds us lies;
And who holds the truth?
I am not paranoid,
I just wish to fill the void,
Tell us something that can save our souls,
Tell us something that can make us whole,
Our time is coming,
But we need help,
Show us where you think,
Our loyalties should dwell.
