Escort Me To Quarentine

Most of us taught to ignore the things
We're born to be then go & cave in to conformity
Because no one can win against war machines
It all blows in the wind like a hoard of leaves
While those at the top that hold the keys 
That won't release the Golden gese
We sit here distraught or close to being 
Misery swamped  in droves we leave
To a different spot that's supposed to be 
A legitimate lot with loans and deeds
They tell us some bull, that no one needs 
& Expect us to roll it to potpouri
 untill the scent that you breath, is as fresh as the sea
& Smells like a piece of morning breeze
I would have been better off poor & weak
In a big  Renaissance born from sheep
& Live with some rocks absorbing heat
So I can step on the top & scorch my feet
Winds getting strong, then Dorothy sings 
Gets swept off her lawn & Thrown to me
The wizard of oz, in quarentene
As sick as a dog, or horse that's green

Yes, John, but it did not work for us did it? "We're taught to ignore the things We're born to be & cave in to conformity" And aren't you glad? I am.

Not really, everyones gotta grow up i guess. Poetry, and music i will always do because if i dont thats me conforming way to much for my comfort. Everyone should try and hold on to the things that make them unique and different from other people i think.
