I live in a place …

Where intelligence

Is dissed

And ignorance

Is bliss



Where refusing

To be forced into a box

Is taking a questionable risk

And if you

Step out of place

All eyes will shift



Where accepting the life

You’ve been assigned

Is just a formality

And you’re constantly being

Criticized for your individuality



I live in a place …

Where you have to

Play your role

The stage is set

So forget about

Your own goals

Do what you’ve been told



And you just might make it

But until you do

You’ll have to fake it



So secretly read up

Ingest all you can

The only way to

Escape ignorance

Is to devise an

Intelligent plan
