childish and mistaken

‘childish and mistaken’, A poem written by me

problem child!

now look at the mess you’ve made

you couldn’t just shut your mouth

sit up straight, listen and obey

instead you walk away

to a forbidden place

Such a shame, what a disgrace!

one day, you’ll pay for your mistakes

For gods sake, problem child!

Why ache freedom and running wild?

Why change up your whole style?

After looking through old files

Filled with our lies and guile.

Why not just swallow the words and smile?

Stay awake, problem child

We’ll hum you songs

and feed you sleeping pills

We’ll tuck you in,

since our love never fails

So close your eyes, but

open them right on time

Not to our lies,

but to all world crimes

And all ruined lives

around you

You see, besides

the good and pretty

The world is truly filthy

Keep counting sheep,

say your goodbyes

We’re wearing wool,

as a disguise

You won’t believe us otherwise

Be grateful and we might be nice

enough to let you into paradise

No time to waste, problem child

Quit acting childish with your doubts

Listen up now, just so you know

the choice is yours, you’re free to go

you have the right to take control

and to decide, your path in life

On a small note, we are your guides

we know exactly what is right

and we are here to remind

choosing wrong means you will die

so your life is on the line

and there isn’t enough time

to question how, when and why

Are you afraid, problem child?

Why didn’t you just stick around?

Now you have chosen to be loud

about your reckless opinions.

Once you break your way out

of being one of our minions,

You will soon find out that

it’s not so safe and sound

out there for a child like you

We have raised you with fear and guilt

just to be clear you are not built

to survive

anywhere else but here

You better stay, problem child

don’t stray away, stand by your vow

Are you insane? It’s the last days!

Now is the time to pray and pray

And every choice you want to make

By using your own clumsy brain

is pretty much the exact same

as listening to the evil snake

that caused all suffering and pain

in the first place

Unless you want to reconsile,

You are now to be exiled

Unless you want to make amends

Your life is now in your own hands

Another one goes in the wild

Congratulations

You’re all grown up now, problem child
