Open Fields
I dream of fields,
Fields upon fields,
Where dreams are
Created, creativity
Blooming like a flower
In a field, where you
Can be free, don't
You want to be free?
Free, unique, unburdened.
This is not reality, and
This is whar I'm learning
Daily, lessons you learn at school.
The world is actually scary as hell.
It's less a field and more a jail cell
Whether you did anything wrong
Or not, you are punished with leaders
That are not in your interests
That are more fake than a
Barbie doll, more like a
Ken doll, because of course
There aren't female leaders!
That's just silly! And if you
Don't make the money, you're
Screwed too! Because the only
Value in this world is the value in
Your pocket, and not oxygen in
Fields, and hills, and open spaces.
Instead of open spaces, we get
Secret corners, hush, hush, hush
Be silent, be silent, don't fight for
Anything, learn to live in the dark.
I have many flaws, but I'm sure
I'm a good person, most people
I know are good people, who
Don't deserve this sudden darkness.
So speak the hell up! Because who knows?
Maybe one day,
we'll breathe the oxygen
Of an open field.
Why not hope?
