Brains Don't Grow in a Cage
I think a thought that's full of things,
but things don't fit your project requirements.
I draw outside the lines and rules.
Though beautiful, you still fail my imaginationtive creations
and pass the monotonous thoughts of robots.
One plus two can equal three
If you're playing in the land of black in white.
But in the field of kaleidoscopic dreams where I lay my so called nurtured head,
Numbers can be letters and my opinion isn't wrong.
Fact is fiction when you're on the opposite side of the arugment
so does that make my open mind fiction
to your closed motherboard mind?
Your lighthearted efforts to mold me into a professional mediocre
only dampens my desire to become what I am going to be.
So I have a question to the teachers of tomorrow's students today:
Do you realize the amount of tortue students endure
to fit into the picture frame of scholarly achievement
that you build around and block out their hopes with
condescending lectures
subject tests and
opinionated rubrics.
Einstein once said,
"If you judge a fish
on its ability to climb a tree,
it will live it's whole life
believing that it is stupid."
This is true, but I would add
that if you judge a brain by it's ability to retain
it will live it's whole life believing it is uncapable of anything
except what you wish it to be.
Life is full of unhappy people
becaue brains don't grow in a cage.
