Stained Glass Circle
Cliche, the fishbowl.
Wide eyed viewers gaze
The world in hues and blues
We see all, privacy? Ha! It's all up on facebook.
Faded, dazed, blazed. Hit me up.
No Thanks.
Adventures Awaken.
Beyond Benchmarks.
We are the Weekday Warriors.
Fighting to help the extrinsic
Goals sizzle on our tongues, Plans electrify the brain.
Success is inevitable for those who seek it.
Oppressed by the standards
The teachers give up
This crop wasn't meant to grow that high.
Poor hopeful nothings, so much to achieve in such a short lived time.
Unappreciative monsters, they killed a love.
Injecting motivation,
Laughable
Trained monkeys smarter, by the time they're through killing their IQ.
They can't see their light no longer glistens on it's own.
The world they know is a machine, the chance of enlightment dead.
They manufacture the same God and don't feel a thing.
Hot Cheetohs and iPhones for everyone.
