Nothing but a Program
By Samantha Dillon
I am a child
Programmed by society
Programmed to agree
To obey
To follow
To be silent
Programmed to become the programmer
But maybe I don’t want to be what society wishes
Maybe I don’t want to stay quiet
Maybe I want to be listened to
I know I’m not an adult
I know I have so many more experiences to come
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have ideas
That doesn’t mean I’m completely oblivious to the events happening in this world
Do you really expect me to leave the fate of the world I must live in as an adult up to present adults and present adults only?
I have ideas, we have ideas
And when you finally throw away your pride to listen to our small children voices
You’ll hear something more than a carefree child
You’ll hear a person
An adolescent with ideas better than some adults!
So listen to me
Listen to these programs
Listen to these ones and zeros that will no longer be unnoticed
Reprogram yourself and open your eyes.
