Criticism

It is impossible to be any form of real in a world that works "fake it till you make it."

I know it rhymes and it kinda caught on.

How about we make something of ourselves instead of making ourselves something we're not.

They're trying hard to be the next 15 minutes on your screen time.

How about you go back and join the rest of your team time.

Create yourself, for the sustainment of yourself and others.

Create for yourself.

If it's great, people will pay you for it.

If it sucks, get a day job.

We can't all be fucking perfect.

Stop taking pictures of people walking around on the street.

Stop taking pictures of yourself for the world to see.

The seasons of life change like Christmas in July,

sometimes it snows on your birthday,

but sometimes Halloween’s on a Friday.

First Semester

Writing is like recording our life course term paper,
our fucking smice scourse earnnnned yaper,
is basically what all this shit sounds like

No one cares where we go now?,
only asking “can we smoke now?”
This hasn’t changed in years,
used to be squares, but this stuff moves in bags,
it moves with sly red eyes
through every city in our country.

Or so it seems.

College freshman with a minor in Ableton,
talking all this Aristotle, but has anyone even bothered
to hear these little punks out.

But I’m just one of them too.
Slugging my backpack from east to south campus.
Five dream catchers on my wall,
and I still can’t sleep at night.

Teacher Theory

Oh hey world, quick question!!!

Who the fuck are our teachers & professors, should their qualifications or roles be switched, merged, changed?

What foundations is the American school system based on? Who created it? Why? When?

So little is done to explore the creative bounds of the mind from the start. 

By the time we reach college, with all the wide eyed wonder to the real world, finally studying subjects we are interested in and able to absorb this information in a totally new environment, we're already so doomed. 

We were brought up in a grading system that wants you to remember small bursts of information for a week or two between quizzes.

This practice is highly selective in who actually learns this information, because a student can graduate high school by bombing a few tests but doing really good in other assignments and maybe some extra credit.

Still, that information wasn't learned!!!!!!!!

Learning isn't about a fucking grade

It's about  e x p l o r i n g  the world for yourself with the guidance and protection of others.

It's literally what we have been doing FOREVER as humans.

We know it's how we learn best, but recently were implementing a more strict, very unnatural approach to education. 

PLEASE still teach us how to read, write and do basic math.

But school has a bad stigma in this society, and it's because going to school alone without your parents the first time is PRETTY SCARY! 

Something has to be changed.

Parents should be heavily involved in the learning process.

There needs to be a balance.

More REAL LIFE lessons need to be taught through something enjoyable.

Who is teaching our kids vs. who is teaching our young adults.

As kids, we should be taught by the best of the best masters degree'd, life experienced people.

Not just told what the girl learned in class and is now just regurgitating onto us.

Who knows tho, I'm just a smot poking 20 year old, bitter about my tuition. 

Tell Tales

I am an augmentation of every single person who has lived before me,
wrapped into 115 pounds, born into a family of six,
and shuffled around massachusetts by speeding cars and boys shoulders.

I am a million layers deep and five hundred mies wide,
stretching from Reading to Castello al Mare,
and always feeling like I'm right at home.

My legacy is Chevy Blazer back seat and a bottle of bubbly liquid.
My legacy is a crooked smile connected to outstretched arms, to pick you up and carry you home.
