Think-just for a moment outside
The box you're manipulated
In. Imagine-that there is life
After this end's-Imagine. I
Sit and reminisce on how and
When it was easier and more
Interesting. Painting and now,
Playing has been traded with fear
And anxiety. When learning
Was fun-now, a mandatory
Game by the higher powers that
Preside over people. Trapped-as
A rat in a maze is trapped, forced
To do things only for rewards
Not for self-gratification.
