why is it
that
we grow up
learning
what they want us to learn.
we are to conform.
why is it
that
we grow up
thinking
what they want us to think.
we are to not ask questions.
why is it
that
we grow up
knowing
what they want us to know.
we are to accept this.
without questioning
why we must learn this
why we must think this
why we must know this.
school.
religion.
work.
tv.
advertisments.
internet.
food.
­consumer products.
we are all brainwashed
to do what they want us to do
to act how they want us to act
to say what they want us to say
to know what they want us to know
to think what they want us to think
to believe what they want us to believe
we need to learn how to be free
to believe what we want to believe
to think what we want to think
to know what we want to know
to say what we want to say
to act how we want to act
to do what we want to do
to be us.
be you.
