the big lie

be someone
society tells you. don't waste
your life.
your parents push you to school.
teachers
encourage you.
do better.
study harder.
you're going places, they
tell you.
don't give up, keep at it.
you'll see.
the brass ring
is there for you to grab.
you too can
be somebody.
it's all yours for the taking.
and in the end,
this will make you happy.
