slaughterhouse xii

what is school but a cruel farm?
breeding livestock and
thinkers that can’t think for themselves
forced and crammed into small areas
overcrowded—but
that’s okay;
they won’t know the difference!

fed horrible foods by
lunches and the media,
so awful that
most of us need some sort of
antibiotic to
counteract the pain it causes us

information, like corn,
corrupted and twisted—
our bodies and
mental health
aren’t made to handle this

we, the cattle,
fed to an plump
and ripe age
until we can be sold off to the colleges
and filed out to our jobs
and our purpose.

they force feed us shit
through thick fluorescent tubes
and our eyes burn whenever we step out into the sunlight.
