We sit cross-legged on our hands like we were taught
Always fitting in, like they told us to.
We're never a step out of line
Or too loud
We speak up when told,
Otherwise we don't speak at all.
New items we come across we report
Never explore.
Learning is taught and dictated
And the questions are never
"Why".
The facts, the figures
Known better than a nursery rhyme.
We are lulled into sedation
Through the works of the classics, the histories
The art of the times
Never tales from the Goose Mother or
Grimm Brothers.
We are the new
We do as we're told
We never question
We're never out of line
We are
Perfect specimens.
The test subjects
The ones that change the game.
However
When life takes over
Free will reigns supreme
