Classroom Thoughts

Live to work to live to work to live to work to live to eventually die

It's 2pm and the clock is ticking slowly

Time has never been so slow

Staring into the distance

While the old man explains

Hearing but not listening

Trying but not understanding

The abstract ink in the background

It doesn't make any sense!

All just scribbles and images

The man continues

as the thought rushes through my head

Is this what life's all about?

The same thing over and over again?

Everyday of our lives we wake up, live and sleep

An endless cycle of life and death

We work to survive, suffer to stay alive

Catching every breath to continue living

Until the day we finally stop breathing

Life's a maze, we take different directions

but all end up in the same place

The finish line is decease

Dying early, unaccomplished

or dying old, suffocating

People are taken everyday but nobody seems to notice

Questions never answered, and answers never asked

Amazing what you can think of

when you're sitting bored in class...
