Project 3

People are like animals
That's how we are treated
Divided into rats, eagles and jackals
Don't pick your spot because you are being seated

I escaped from the maze
Everyone sees these celebrities
And do nothing but stargaze
Sinking down in this swamp of vanities

All these schoolteachers do
Is forcing you to accept this hierarchy
Confusing you about who is who
Preventing you from fighting this hypocrisy

Turning money into an uncrowned king
Presenting life like it was a lottery
Telling you it's wrong to dance and sing
Subjecting your mind and spirit to assault and battery

Life is so much more than these pieces of paper
Much more than stocks and bars of gold
Look at what it did to Don Draper
Don't realize it when you're too old

Because life is always too short
Even though some try to cheat
They usually end up in court
While I enjoy these lyrics and awesome beat

    Your poem is read like a song..a rap song or a rock song??hehe:P
    --and written in perfect quatrain..all stanzas maintain the four lines--and I appreciate how you effort this. Great! It made your poem structures attractive.
    --The flow just drift the path of lines and the rhythm is good--well, good effort..
    Over all..nice piece
