Prompt #3- A Lesson in Mind Control

The mind is creative

until inundated with guidelines

in growth and how to become

(which govern the uneducated.)

‘They’ claim to know the best process

to educate the un.

 

‘They’ think this is the proper manner

in which to create creativity

yet thoughts become dangerous

when fenced in or restrained

stunting their growth and potential.

Thoughts become wild and uncontrolled

without direction and guidance

or so deemed by the experts.

 

Creating creativity is in reality

the oxymoron of education.

‘This is how it’s done’ is their motto.

‘Don’t fence me in’ is mine.

No wonder education is expensive,

fences don’t come cheap.
