Shakespearian Seuss


Society, society, wherefore art thou society? People just want to disappear To hide in a crowded room in fear We hide inside and under our skin Because all people want is just to fit in All our differences are hidden Almost like being unique is forbidden So society I ask of you Why it is you do what you do Why is it you have us hiding in shame Leaving us to point fingers at others to blame To blame us for what we have NOT done wrong Forcing us all to sing the same song Every so often you need to change it up Add some harmony into your cup Add some spice to your recipe of life You may find that you like it like that You were expecting a rhyme there cause society told you so But I can do what I want I’ll have you know Not because I’m a spoiled brat But because I think differently then that I make my own path, I go my own way Because then nobody can say that I’ve gone astray I’m what people would call a free thinker I sit and watch as society’s face gets pinker Then red as society finally gets mad But comes to realize they should be embarrassed and sad So why do we let society rule When society is only aggressive and cruel Think for yourself and you can grow wings You could come up with the most amazing things Lets make society a thing of the past Because the world’s a stage … and you’re the cast
