Stuck with Capitalism
By Jillian Speakman, 10
I am stuck.
Trapped in this mindset
That prioritizes work over health,
The worker bee pipeline is driving us to ruins.
You order us to give you good grades
But don’t teach us how to maintain
The balance needed to live long
Enough to taste success.
We tire ourselves out
Fulfilling your need
Of the American Dream.
We are stuck in majors we hate,
Hobbies we hate,
Careers we hate.
We stay stuck in these patterns
To please your need to see
Your own dreams played out
In someone else.
Monotonous lives with robotic routines.
We stay stuck in this pipeline
Until the train’s fuel tank runs dry
And our minds are emptied of the sensation of true living.
