Stay in your lane


 
Do as your told 
Stay in your lane 
If you ask questions 
Clinically insane 
Robotically programmed to follow the order 
Think outside the box 
Youve got a mental disorder
Lookin all the way back to when I was a kid 
What I was told to do was whatever I did 
And the same thing is implemented as we grow old 
We have learnt from birth to do as we’re told 
Because someone’s always bigger and better than you 
More authoritative because they’re wearing a suit 
It’s a game to be played 
You can lead or you can follow 
And today will just be the same as tomorrow 
And tomorrow will be the same as six months down the line 
If we don’t speak up now it’s a race against time 

The man made world we live in is pretty absurd 
You got the wolves who lead the pack and then the sheep who herd 
If God is real and he created the earth 
He created the soil and the sun that burns 
Gave us air to breathe and and leaves on trees 
Mother Nature is a blessing, but our priorities’ greed

I wear a suit only to church out of respect, I hope you don't think I'm absurd! lol! I think you wrote a really good poem, and agree the world has a big greed problem and the other forms of pride are rampant! It also reminded me of YOU MUST COLOR WITHIN THE LINES! Thanks for shining a light on it !  that's my humble assessment...............Jim

WOW! I agree with all the poets on here. Just simply a smashing poem. It takes quite a bit to take me by Surprise I love how you connected your vague introduction with personal experience. Just an astonishing and enjoyable read. Kudos. TFOTS
