welcome to hell! welcome to hell!
where it may be sunny outside
but you wouldn't know
because you are trapped in a classroom
for seven hours a day
welcome to hell
where the teachers drone on like crickets in the night
and can't restart or repeat
yet it sounds the same each time
hell, where your creativity is graded on a scale of one to ten
ten being average
nine and under being a Failure
where Assassin's Creed teaches you more about history than your World Studies class does
and apparently calling a football team
the "Redskins" is giving honor
to Native Americans
please get warm and cozy
when you pledge your allegiance
and loyalty
to a flag every day to honor
your dystopian country that mirrors those books you read in English
praise your popcorn deities
but suffer eternal damnation
if you do not believe
indulge in exhausting labor
that earns no merit
take part in your anxiety
suffer through your abilities
and keep your eyes open
hell will show you a world of opportunities
giving you the unique option to hate
to hate either yourself or everyone else
you won't need empathy or sympathy anymore
apathy is all you can survive on
learn to erase your childhood
bury your life in books and dissolve
oh, and if that doesn't stop you,
try fighting!
hate yourself!
feel like dying!
but most importantly,
enjoy your stay.
you'll be here for a while.
