Kept Within This Child's Prison
By The Silent Pendulum
These white covered wall
So bare and so tall
Are parts of the
jail
That's keeping us all
Trapped within books
In
nannies and crooks
Our minds all conform to singular thought
Which
erases unique and integrates rot
But centered in hearts
The
freedom grows taut
Myself, starting to fail
Until we are fed,
that feast that we dread
Our bodies are so weak and so frail
Even the Watchers
The masters of knowledge
Are miserable day
after day
They teach and we fight, a foolish plight
So we can
get into college
Yet thankless are we, apprentices all
The
knowledge has failed to grow
We shall sit and ignore your opening
of doors
Until it is time to go homeĀ
