They tell us:
~who to be
~who to like
~and who to hate.
They tell us:
~what to do
~what to think
~and what to want.
They tell us:
~Where to go
~where to be
~and where we are.
They tell us:
~why we are wrong
~why we aren’t good enough
and why they are better than us.
They tell us:
~when to smile
~when to frown
~And when to be confused.
They tell us:
~How to cheat
~How to lie
~And how to get what we want,
but they don’t tell us:
~who we really are,
~what would really be the best for us,
~where we could be,
~why we are here,
~when we shouldn’t listen to them,
~and how to achieve true happiness.
So should we really listen to them?
