Think and Question

Think & Question Open that door Ring the bell Time for school to start File the children inside Cram them in a closed room Trapped in a single desk Don't talk without permission Don't whisper or pass notes Listen to what your teacher says They know that one plus one doesn't always equal two They won't tell you that Only what they want you to know Do not ask questions They want control over what you learn Just sit and listen like good little drones If you escape with your minds intact You will be able to think To question everything To have creativity and imagination You will not be a drone Ignoring everything you have been taught You will be a human being with a mind And you will rule the world
