The assualt on the creativity of youth
I wont sit back down, not today,
When I refuse I wont hear them say,
Analyze,No, not that way
Cold words fill my ears,
I wont follow them like steers,
I wont today,No, not that way
Sit back down, they will say,
break up, tear at and away,

Trace the lines, the stanza and meter,
I wont, a poem is not a metric liter,
They say Im the fool, who is the cheater,
I will stand against this repulsive time
Make his words his, and my words mine,
They will force me, they hold the cleaver,
With their syllabus, but with my words I am weaver,
I will walk into class their fool, who is the cheater

Cease these mornic ideals young man,
Dont speak, join the others my little lamb,
Trace the words the stanzas, I know you can,
Fall in to place, dont climb a great height,
You will fall, go quietly into the good night,
Passion leaves, now walk the stage in that gown,
My eyes will close, a sigh, then a heavy frown,
I will go quietly, I will sit back down
