Preparatory School

The earth we live in
is a preparatory school
it’s a kindergarten
every human with a slate
to learn the basics of existence
and to mature according to plan
all must sit for promotional tests
only those who pass well
climb the ladder of excellence
failures do not repeat class
they do not remain in society
but are exiled forever
in super-limbo
