Week 9- Shh
Shh
Shh,
they say when you let your thoughts start talking aloud,
shh,
you must be quiet, told where to sit and, how to think for 12 years,
shh,
you must follow by my rules by there are no others,
shh,
you must sit in nice and neat rows just like everyone else, for we are not teaching you to be different,
shh,
you must be put in competitions to find to find out who is the best for we treat them better the best,
shh,
we must make you feel trapped by telling you everyday how to think and how to feel,
shh,
we don’t care what’s going on in your life but just how your acting out,
shh,
we must ask less questions and take more actions to punish you,
shh,
we are older than you so you must treat us with respect, even if we don’t have any for you,
shh,
stop complaining they say when all I try to do is have an opinion,
shh,
for 12 years train to be a robot to only start the cycle over again
I really like your poem. I like how you repeated shh after each line. I also like what the poem was about. You did a nice job.
