A Poem by Heather Hassell

if you never stop questioning what you're told
what you're shown
what you're guaranteed
what you're spoon-fed by the hand of
stingy
swinish
shrewd and sly
businessmen
well that's half the battle.

when you first encounter the urge to
bite that hand
congratulations
you're now a dangerous person.

you're now learning how to think for yourself
and you're going to get angry
and you're going to be butthurt
and they don't like that.

Certainly true in all aspects and definitely a fave from you. I love the last stanza "you're now learning how to think for yourself
and you're going to get angry
and you're going to be butthurt
and they don't like that."
