The Adulthood TheoryA Poem by CzarinaThe older you grow, ironically, the more "childish" you seem to become.One day we will become the adults
Lose all logic in the end Ever since we are born We are drowned in mixed colors In order to prepare and withstand The future that is to consume us Presenting the adulthood theory This is what adults are made of: Cram the textbooks into a limited cranium Only to forget and depend on the next generations Making up profound rules, perverting them in due time Whatever you feel like will be what you become Listen to only yourself, ignore what others suggest That is the key to finding real happiness In order to make it, embrace your pills and your drugs Even if that's what will kill you in the very end “Don't let the children hear this or they will become corrupt” Says those who do nothing but spit blasphemy “Wait until they're grown up Then hit them with all you've got That's the reality of this world That they must take part in" Year by year, and day by day They like to play pretend Painting wrinkles and mustaches On their dirty faces of disdain Complaining and resisting all control Begging for things that will eat them whole Forgetting, forgetting Forgetting what even keeps them alive He and she and this and that Are mislabeled chemical reactions Their thoughts and heartbeats Are blown from dust mites in the mind Greediness, selfishness This is what adults are made of Drawing out dumb rumors, never saying “sorry” If they don't agree, then shoot and leave them to die Playing with planes and missiles, careless with their toys Come in, let's talk, my house is made from candy I don't understand it! All I hear is nonsense! That's right, all they stand for is mental poisoning According to my calculations, there is one cure for this epidemic Beaware of the lies they spun from their fever fantasies As follows: Wrong is good Good is bad There is nothing Worth living for Poison is blood Lust is love Build up your Monopolies Man is God Heaven is hell The defected ones Should die as well And last of all These frugal children Do not know A single thing “Why keep trying to put life in old rotting corpses?” Says those who became nothing but vile monsters Those teens did nothing wrong They're becoming new adults It's a sign of growing up So start the revolution Year by year, and day by day They like to sit and scream Shrieking over remote controls Broken dolls and broken dreams Never respecting one another Throwing tantrums one after the other Gimme it, gimme it, Gimme what I was born to have He and she and this and that Are not qualified as human Underneath that ugly skin An animal is what lies within Ignorance, foolishness This is what adults are made of Statistics show that at an alarming rate More are succumbing to this disease Shriveled spines bent at the ground Um, are your teeth falling out? “Stop, you know nothing of this world you see,” Says those with fog smeared in their glasses lens “Just eat, drink, and be merry all your sad life” “Your whole existence was merely an accident” These adults think they're grown up But here's what they're made of Utter childish nonsense Yet they call me immature Year by year, and day by day They laze around and engorge on What is fed directly to them In TV screens and candy wrappers Only caring for their own sake Never focused when they are awake Loitering, loitering, Loitering in the same place everyday He and she, snot-nosed and drooling Whine for the medicine But if I told them where to find it They never believe me anyway Depravity, insanity, This is what adults are made of © 2016 Czarina |
