They
built
a
tan
brick
in
our
neighborhood
and
said
it
would
make
us
better
.
But
the
bright
-eyed
day
that
saw
a
wide
-eyed
child
take
his
first
step
in
,
was
the
last
he
was
ever
seen
.
Year
by
year
they
scooped
his
insides
out
in
the
name
of
"
what's
best
for
you
."
In
the
sterile
halls
'Tween
the
tan
brick's
walls
There
are
predators
at
play
Fragile
souls
Are
the
first
to
go
Pressured
into
growing
up
By
the
cruelties
of
the
day
.
Scarred
and
disillusioned
By
the
tan
brick
early
on
That
same
boy
some
years
later
Comes
home
twisted
and
withdrawn...
The
years
will
pass
as
he
makes
someone
rich
In
precise
,
robotic
ways
He'll
have
his
own
When
he
is
grown
And
when
they're
5
or
6
he'll
say
:
"
You'll
be
going
to
that
tan
brick
,
kids
The
day
is
coming
soon
"
Then
for
13
years
They'll
scoop
their
insides
out
In
the
name
of
"
what's
best
for
you
."

Our
political
system
is
more
a
release
valve
for
peasant revolt
than
it
is
a
system
for
change
anymore
.
They
used
to
have
revolts
every
few
decades
.
Now
it's
been
a
good
~250
years
.
We
are
the
slaves
who
know
not
of
our
slavery
and
so
are
resigned
to
our
circumstances
;
sending
our
children
to
be
broken
by
the
education
system
.
In
they
go
spirited,
young
colts
full
of
hope
..out
they
come
broken
and
ready
for
the
trail
.

It's
surprising
what
passes
for
an
education
these
days
.
A
cadre
of
naive
chumps, pour
every
summer
out
of
big
brick
buildings,
all
smug
and
clueless
..deliciously
prepared
for
the
streets
to
devour
them
.
And
terrified
that
they
will
.
The
system's
never
designed
a
better
pawn
.
