The Idiocy and Ignorance of a Teenage Girl

The Idiocy and Ignorance of a Teenage Girl

A Poem by Kristen P
"

I don't know what this is. I just started writing and words came out making this...

"

why restrict the human mind?

 to restrict the mind is to restrict progress.

 and that's all this world is about isnt it?

 progression into a deeper land of waste.

what's the point anymore? 

all progression leads us deeper and deeper into the waterless

land of rock and several see that and they are trying to stop it.

so many from many generations have tried and are trying to tell of what we are

 and what we've become

but we don't care.

 we just are about progress. and for what purpose?

none, really.

 progress for the sake of progress.

but why restrict the human mind?

 who could have thought of anything so ridculous

 as restricting the human mind?

 preventing us to feeling and express those feelings in ways other

 than blogs and photos of oneself and politics.

wait, wait no

we are not yet in the waste land.

the world is too full of progression to be a waste land

waste land is too kind a word

 No, we are man! we have all that makes us men

Yes, progressed men

oh yes, we have art-

 the newly produced literature that all sounds the same,

the pictures that reveal nothing,

the music that carries no soul or true feeling in the notes,

 if they are even really notes at all.

 oh yes we have souls-

we have no conscience but we have souls

we feel no guilt be we have souls

we are living!we have souls!

oh yes, we are tolerant and respectful

-as we kill each other for nothing but envy for what other has,

steal because we are now too lazy to work to get our own,

lie because we cannot face the truth,

cheat because it makes life easier.

nothing can make life easier but living.

 it's hard to live when you fear for your life.

 that is what we live. This is us.

restriction and fear

is this all because of the restriction

of the mind. why restrict the mind?

Unheard of. Absurd.

education, what a laugh

what are we learning

a formed way of thinking

we learn to think as one mind

schooling? what are you teaching

you have not evolved me into a brillant mind

you have controlled my mind.

you have prevented us to live and be human

whatever that may be.

sell your soul, sell your soul

sell your soul or get life behind

no time for the individual

NO,

time of progression

time of progression

keep up

Keep up

KEEP UP

but what if i choose to live?

progression is life, life is progression

move on

we are no longer people

we are a society

breathing, feeding, acting

together

why restrict the mind?

but no we are not a waste land

we have not yet reached a lack of water

we are progressive

we are the controller

and you are the program
