Pointless Poem: Born Too Late

There was a time when things were great

Before I was born

Because everything had already happened

And none of it was my fault

But things today aren’t so great

Because for every war

Or every starving child

Or every polar bear confused about where all the ice went

There is a chance that I am partly responsible

Not wholly responsible

Maybe .0000001 percent or something

I didn’t start the war

Or take that child’s lunch

Or melt the ice with a blow torch

No, I merely sat on my ass

And watched TV while eating a bag of chips

But

Sadly

That’s all it takes nowadays
