I try and try
but no success,
I truly think I've used my best
of all my gifted creativity

on a counter-productive advancement ploy
vaguely disguised as a replacement for joy

But you see the industry
looks fondly
on a paper that solely
proves
you sold you soul and imagination
to teachers guidelines and
a heartless administration.
Cookie-cutter cinema class
excluding geniuses who
changed the past,
with controversial means no less,
I truly think they did their
best
