I don't want to make sense. I don't want to follow the rules. There are too many now anyway. You're told where to walk and how to act and what to say.
Well what if I were to, out of nowhere, just do what I wanted. What if I decided to stay at home for a week or even run away. What if I suddenly ignored the rules of grammar, and spelt thngis worgn on purpose? I know it makes the world a more structured place, I know, but I'm so tired of following all these instructions.
Humans today are so terrified of robots taking over the world, they're forgetting that they're already being controlled in the first place. Common courtesies like queueing and wrapping presents are only done because they've been drilled into everyone. Why do we even wrap presents anyway? Isn't it a waste of so much paper?
Are thoughts like that supposed to change the world? Maybe I think too much. Maybe they're scared of people who think too much about the 'rules'. Is that why nobody dares?
Well I say speak up. Lord knows what will happen to us if nobody does.
And with a glance at the time, I quickly slip on my shoes and get ready to face the day.
