Education

Dress them in factory grey and ship them out
add a splash of colour to stop them freaking out
Introduce drip-fed thoughts and the pain of structured days
Teach them to ignore their mind and follow government ways
 
Stay inside when it rains, cos it’ll weather their youthful looks
inside nature will kill them too, so we’ve bleached all the books
and if one can’t stop moving because they think they are a dancer
we know that drugging them as an ADHDer is the only answer.
 
Soon we’ll tell them the economy is what it’s all about
as well as fitting in and learning not to scream or shout
and when the vast universal vacuum awakens their truthful mind
we’ll stand at the front of class and make them close the blinds
 
This is the start of their re-education
forget everything they know
we are the shapers of the next generation
and now it’s time for them to go.
To school.

(2014)

Perhaps a bit too cynical...but it was the first day of school for my son recently and this came to mind.
