A Nice Place To Raise Children

the sign on the lawn goes down 
the human real estate moves in 
picket fences erected over landfill 
theyll ignore as theyve been taught 
and theyll always do as theyre told 
and theyll never make waves 
the kids will go to school 
and adults will go to work 
and there theyll have the daily lesson reinforced 
born in the middle 
stay in the middle 
die in the middle 
free thought succumbs to autonomy 
its nothing new
