Spoon-Fed

rather to have something concrete
than something that would have to be
questioned?
rather to find yourself with others babbling
than to ponder it a bit on your own?
rather to stay in the same place for as long as possible
than to wander the world when you can?
rather to fabricate knowledge & affection others claim to work the length of a life at attaining
than to work tirelessly for them yourself?
rather than to learn to serve yourself & chew your own food
better for you to be spoon-fed.
