Do you really consider this the epicenter?
Some two-thousand years of human progress,
And we’ve hardly left the arena.
It’s the same every year,
Repeating the Tiananmen Square of the America teenager.
Seek knowledge! Chase achievement! Pursue popularity!
But don’t think beyond the walls and why aren’t you in line?
Two dumb kids fall onto the bed in love,
Only to fall through the floor into the maternity ward.
Why did we even consider ourselves wise.
How did we ever consider ourselves invincible.
Arise! Oh those born with bright eyes and questions in mouth,
Make noise out loud and make it glorious,
Wield your innocence and clutch it like a sword
For yourself and your fellow warrior poets.
Alarm us all with how disarmingly easy it is
To have identity in the age of stressed anonymity,
With everyone wanting you to do or be something,
It’s your inaction that shines the brightest.
