III. 

Race and sexuality are still 

Contested 

Demonstrations against 

Those who simply 

Are different 

The beaten path 

Isn't always the 

Correct path 

Celebrate diversity 

Ignorance kills 

IV. 

Problems. 

Aren't solved 

Will never be 

No progress 

If progress means 

moving forward 

What does Congress mean? 

The same 

Corruption 

Soulless education 

More laws 

More taxes 

More regulations 

More government 

Solve nothing 

Out with the old 

Freedom is abstract and untouchable 

Someone 

Somewhere 

Needs to do something 

Before we head 

The way of The Caesars 

It may be too late... 

Make way, Rome 

We're coming 

V. 

School 

Just another way to catch us early 

Nothing but illusions 

Wasted Paper 

Wasted Time 

Wasted Minds 

It's true 

School steals one's soul 

Snuffs the spark 

Of Creativity 

The greatest minds 

Didn't linger 

In the halls of universities 

We should be learning how 

The world really is 

Not how they wish it to be 

A careless teacher 

Is a murderer of destiny and truth
