Take Caution !!!!!!!


 

You are shorter than a sunset turning to night

I take caution

If my answer isn’t right

You merely treat me as if my opinion is the value of nothing

Which isn’t right

But I should digress

The fact of the matter is, today is the time for change to occur

I have to learn in conditions that allow the material to stick to me

Instead of allowing it to fade to a blur

I like to be hands on

Or even perhaps make the material learned into a song

You limit my success when you limit my ability

You limit my ability when you limit my mind

You limit my mind when you limit imagination

You limit my imagination when bind me to rules

Rules that carry no valid interpretation

But rather are there just to be there

I want to run free

A horse in a meadow

Instead I stay bound

A cold corpse in a cage

Chevre! O no

I want to feel excited to take in another ounce

Of this knowledge they say is applicable in the fountain of life

A rainbow of information

Blue to represent the sadness of every moment that passes

Yellow to represent the somber feeling

Red to represent the death of imagination that is kept in limit

A photograph of desperation hangs above your head

You want to escape your own self

Go!

Be free among us all, the rules only harm us

Your existence screams above the clouds

High above this one congruent cubical that 95 minutes of life is wasted in

Make it count

Make it last

Make a change

Make it fast

That you and I can both be proud of

Make it memorable

Make it
