Creative Revolt

Creation is a process of constant
Learning and destruction
Of the habits your high school
Teachers drilled into you
Because paid-off legislators
Required the schools
To prepare you for your life
Of mindless servitude.

Creation is a process of uncovering
What and who you are
In a world where you’re told
You should be someone else
Because you were born wrong
According to the powerful
People who decide
What is normal.

Creation is a process of rebelling
Against structures that
Cause such horrible pain
To billions of people
Downtrodden, stories forgotten,
But even if change can’t happen
Soon enough for us
The stories remain worth telling.
