Beat

Beat

A Poem by MARZ

Beat the brain.

The drug users make more sense.

The drug users are having fun.

Their breasts free and bare -

Beat the brain and let businessmen

mock you because you

haven't graduated or popped out

a few kids yet.

Beat the brain because you're somehow ugly and stupid

and  the rest of the world

pretends like you're not.

 

They flatter you so you stop trying.

They tell you that you're beautiful so you

let your body go.

They tell you how smart you are

so you stop using

both hands and start holding

an MP3 player and a phone

instead of a pen and paper.

 

No conspiracy?

Yes conspiracy.

Beat the brain.
