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
