(De)education from The Wheel by Stochastic Reaper

Enthusiastic, you run to school,
after decades becoming a tool.

You learn applied obedience,
a dying silenced audience.
Force-fed outdated information
and brainless awe for the nation.

Broken to fit in a combat scheme,
only the best are supposed to win.
You’re not taught to peacefully live.
Hoard, compete, but never give!

Enthusiastic, you run to school,
after decades becoming a fool.

You haul ass down a one way trail
towards an unquestioned epic fail.
How can you protect yourself, a silly child, the world, so brutal and you, so mild.

You yearn to fulfill your inner quest
but you’re stuffed with all the (un)rest!
If you’re lucky, you know the facts,
yet futile in social acts.

Emotional intelligence,
critical thinking, resilience...
Sincere communication,
empathy, cooperation...

There are no magic pills
for learning real-life skills.
