Faceless
I sit down in each class
As time rolls past
Think my life is one big hour glass
For no test knows my dream
No quiz knows my future
Of all this are you sure
Is it all what is seems?
Do we question this path?
And face society’s wrath?
Of a world built on papers
With faceless names
Without that paper
Would we face the shame?
Should we slave away
On these classes for which we pay?
Or do we step aside
And in ourselves we confined
So not to measure our success
By a title on our desk
But the satisfaction we receive
Because only then will I believe
That the world is not full of faceless papers
But a clay ball and we are the shapers
