A Poem by Jess Holden

How did we get her?
From sipping kool aid to coolers?
No,
we didn't grow up,
No,
we weren't young,
We were foolers.
Though,
we've sat back too long,
Its time to take the wheel,
And go for a little spin,
Now,
we aint evil knevil.

Its not our age or where we live,
No, its how we were raised,
this way,
"respect your elders"
they taught,
Well look how it paid,
I don't see how all these years,
Have only taken its toll,
It aint fair.
Well life isn't fair,
But we know it just shows,
through our bones,
And leaves it marks
in the worst spots,
In our love,
in our hearts,
Its all ruined,
And torn apart,
What's left but broken hearts,
And broken rules to follow suit?
Its not our fault they don't compute.

Its not about the money,
No, its knowledge,
That'll get us where we need,
Why can't anyone else see?
Its what we need,
More smart asses,
To run the world,
I'm sick of followin' all these idiots around,
With these stupid frowns,
On their stupid faces,
They think it'll get them somewhere,
But their mistaken.
They need a new lesson in life,
Because they failed the first exam,
They need to know how to stand.

(main)
Its not our fault,
Don't look at me that way,
Its not our fault,
We were just made to stay,
You can't believe,
That I got straight A's,
Well it aint my fault,
It aint my fault.
(no, no, no)

I hated going home,
It was like a dungeon in disguise,
And their was no comprimise,
To how,
Much it sucked up in their
My hair,
Use to be black,
But now its all slicked back,
Losing its colour cause of stress,
I can't express,
How much I hate this f****n bullshit.

(main)

No, no,
I've had enough,
I'm taking a stand,
It'll be grand,
Just watch me,
Know that one day I'll be free,
And all of ya'll will see me,
Then,
I'll move on to the world,
Maybe they'll listen.

This is pretty legitimate stuff here...I like the way you wrote it, intense, an awesome flow with a beat & rhythm. All of the things you say are true, and the descriptions you have are awesome. Really unique style & fantastic job of using short lines to create a bold atmosphere and a hard-hitting subject matter. Amazingggggggg job!
