Hush now my child,
Go to sleep, no resistance.
To live in this world,
There’s some rules like for instance.
Never talk back,
Must obey all authority.
Step out of line,
And you join the minority.
Regardless your race,
Colour, creed or beliefs,
Look out of place,
For you they send the police.
No, can’t explain,
Or, understand what you did.
Disrupt their order,
And they’ll make sure that you bid.
Life is so short,
Here comes lesson number two.
Knowledge is key,
But only what they teach you.
Din’t think out loud,
Or, even out of the box.
Only read their books,
Ideas bring chains and locks.
Talk how they talk,
Only repeat what you learned.
Follow these steps,
I promise you won’t get burned.
No time to stop,
Ready to hear lesson three?
Keep the mass poor,
That’s modern day slavery.
You can’t be boss,
And no you can’t have a say.
Keep dreams real small,
A worker bee you must stay.
Give them that cheque,
I know you worked real hard.
Don’t pay their tax,
And you will be sent behind bars.
Last but not least,
Now some more, lesson four.
Never can hide,
Your privacy is no more.
Many will laugh,
They’re convinced it’s ok.
How do you feel,
As they watch, listen and prey.
Keep us in check,
Cut us off when we begin.
Always in wrong,
Unless you’re born next of kin.
