Don't Repeat After Me In Formation - Slam Poetry

Slamming Social Submissive Stigma.

'Education' these days

 Is about 'pure' information

And by information 

I mean presenting facts verbatim 

And by pure i mean it's taken

As truth with no contemplation 

That behind all this initiation 

Is nothing  more than total indoctrination 

Into cookie-cutter patriotic nations

I mean even the word information

Is unsettling with reiteration

Think of it 

like this

Information 

In-formation

IN. FORMATION. 

Conspiracy? Could be. 

Though that is another story. 

For now lets call it coincidental consideration. 

To keep in mind what's lacking 

In a cold calculated system of education 

 I ask you and i beg

Where's the social validation 

That everyone is different

In the way they treat a situation

That people are so vast and varied when it comes to inspiration 

And still we wonder why kids in school

Get bullied, beaten and mistaken

Treated by their peers as some kind of social retardation 

 

By other young minds bored and rampart with frustration 

From a system failing day by day

Generation by generation

I mean is it no surprise from a society with a hellebent  fixation

Upon competition

Survival of fittest 

And human exploitation?

Of mantra screaming profit, selfishness, and lack of real cooperation 

Nature over nurture and people under nations

That leave us standing divided and alone amongst as sea of potential collaboration? 

And yet we're told to sing our anthems of patriotic proclamations 

That we live in lands of freedom, justice, love and consideration.

So please believe me when i see

Your sense of self worth and participation 

As something lacking emergent notions 

When it's simply in-formation

What we need is real change via total non-cooperation

And to rest assured that our minds, and our childrens mind, and future generations

Are part of real solutions

And also full of inspiration 

To take hold of our own thoughts

And redefine the importance 

Of something we've all lost

Called self education

So don't simply repeat after me

Don't seek my words as your savior or salvation

Just find your version of what it means to simply be

And forget what others see 

As being in-formation
