Are You Reading Me?
If you simply watch time pass
It drags, insanely slow
But spend it playing in the grass
It’s gone before you know
Work is seldom ever fun
And pleasure doesn’t last
Make sure before your time is done
Each tick is unsurpassed.
If you only do
What they tell you to
How free are you?
Exclusively say
The words they okay?
Then you obey.
Ignore the strains
Of those without reins
You prefer chains,
But if you strive
For expression to thrive
You may feel alive.
