throughout this long and winding hallway
as we slowly walk towards a realm that is sadly
completely beyond all that we know.
Perhaps everything's just a giant propaganda
when they say that we are young and we are free.
Society paralyzes us, billboard and magazine images
enslave us with false hope and blind ambition.
Surreptitiously and inconspicuously our lives stagnate
as we mournfully analyze all the things that might've gone awry.
We look backwards and forward, until suddenly
our present becomes our past, and we have nothing to show.
Neither young nor free, our generation's top-notch agenda
should be to defy definition, to hear, to listen, to feel, and see
potential as it courses through our veins, speaking to us in langauges
only we can understand,
should knowledge be our new addiction.
