Patterns to Follow

Repeat after me
You will be shaped
Like we want you to be
We will take now
Your tender mind
While you are innocent
And easy to adapt
To create a legion
Of servants
And designate a task
We carve your brain
To accept and obey
We decide your values
And imposed texts
Standards of introduction
To your days in life
Don’t revolt
Don’t question
Don’t ask
Once again
From A to Z
Crucify yourself
To times of grief
Now assimilate and understand
What’s about to start
These are the last days
For the rest of your life.
Don’t revolt
Don’t question
Don’t ask
Designate a task
Repetitive and stupefied
Exercises you won’t retain
And you will never apply.
