Intellectual Revolution


The world is a wasteland

Rebuild among destruction

Find hope in the rubble

Of the mounds of dirt and sorrow

Freethinking has been revoked from our minds

Standardization has assumed control

Our mind is our greatest asset

Dulled minds now occupy our heads

For standardization has become the default program

Question procedures and methods

Question the information tube-fed to you

The blind are also armed with the most powerful weapon

In which they protect with braille-studded armor

Shield the mind 

And make room for growth

This is only the beginning.
