But a brick in the wall.

by Kane Burden   Jun 30, 2005


Why am i here
I don't belong
My identity forgotten
My personality
Gone!

I am but a piece of the puzzle
A brick in the wall
My opinion seems pointless
My existence prolonged.

I feel so cheap and used
Just doing my job
being exploited of my energy
rather than my knowledge

I am taught to say nothing
unless a member of Mensa
I fit into society
as if i were a program.

What is the point in being here
whats the point in freedom of speech
Its no good in this society
when you are taught not to think

But i will not stand for this any longer
i will contribute a verse
If i do not make my presence noticed.
I will be living my life converse.

*** Please rate and comment! It means so much***

    Brilliant message!! But what is this society where they dont allow you to contribute your thoughts...? All i know is that if i were a part of it, i wouldnt stand for it either. Everyone has the right to an opinion, no matter who they are. Not everyone may agree with the opion, but that is what makes us all so diverse. Good job(y)

    Very cool! I don't really know what to say, but I loved the first stanza, "Gone" just really seemed to fit! 5/5 on a great poem! Best wishes...oh, wait, what is Mensa?
