The Flip Gen

in a world upside down

They lived in a world transitioning
 
A warmer North
A cooler South
 
The poor recognized as the majority
And getting rich
 
The affluent recognized as the minority
And getting poor
 
The daughters of sweatshop workers from the East
buying Gucci handbags
 
The sons of factory owners from the West unemployed and desperate for a job
 
Boys become girls
Girls become boys
 
Democracies run by dictators
And dictatorships looking like democracies
 
Blue hair and tatts is businesslike
Going natural in a suit is passé
 
Communicating with other humans face to face is an inconvenience
 
Virtual communication is the new reality
 
While reality TV is increasingly unreal
 
Jungle living is a fantasy as forests shrink to nothing
 
And urban jungles are actually green
 
The cotton wool kids are highly anxious with a tic
 
The undernourished kids box above their weight and at peace
 
Kampung families have ten cell phones
 
A white kid high on ice is chased by drones
