Freethinking Asylum


English, math, science, and history

I sit in this prison filled with misery

Repetition, repetition, repetition

A place of mental annihilation 

Every class distorts our creativity

As teachers give us brainless activities

We are not mindless, insignificant items

So let us escape from this conforming asylum

All I want is some time

Time for creative learning

Learning that shocks our minds

Minds that will make a difference,

Education is treated as a black and white game,

And we are the ones to be blamed
