Get up.
Go to school
It's okay if your too tired
To speak
To think
School is important
Memorize this
Keep your mind occupied
Keep you're thoughts
At bay.
Never stray from the
Normality
Fear your peers
And never disrespect
Your elders,
They're always right
Always teaching us
The way they think
That we should see.
Biased opinions
Dull minds
Robots training the young
Homework
Essays
Projects
Keep your mind busy,
Your eyes tired,
Your heart empty.
Get rid of your hopes
And dreams
Because if you don't get
Straight As
Take AP
and honors classes
Be in every sport and club
You're a failure
In every way
Shape
And form.
Because we are the youth
Of this nation
And this nation
Can't be challenged
By creative minds,
The system is too frail
A stroke of a paintbrush
A tick of a harp
Or a string of creative thoughts
Can bring the whole thing down.
So sit still
Take your notes
Follow direction
Your health doesn't matter
And neither do you, your just part of the system
And the system
Owns you.
