Guest Speaker at School

Students…
Take a seat everyone,
and strap yourselves in for the ride.
Don’t try to run away from
the teacher because you can’t hide.

Listen to the words that have no meaning
and write the words without a thought.
Quiz time! Students get your pencils ready
let’s see if you’ve learned what I taught.
The good students pass
and the bad ones don’t.
The good ones kiss ass
but the bad ones won’t.

Don’t listen to anything that they say
they are taking your originality away.
Don’t conform to what they want you to be
we will drag you out screaming for you to see.
The lies that they will feed to us
we file out in a yellow prison bus.

You will lose yourself in a sea of conformity.
But we refuse to let you fall to this calamity.
Learn the truth and get your facts straight.
GO! spread the warning before it’s too late.
(The ringing of a school bell)

Author notes

There are multiple concepts I am trying to portray through this song. I do not simply mean that school is the source of hell in the lives of all teens, which in some cases is true. When I wrote this song what I had in mind was more towards an idea that children are being brainwashed by a corrupt greedy government to conform to what they want and lose basically all sense of originality.

What did you think of my work?
