So. the bell rings and we plod off to class to be taught what to think, when to think it and how to write it(in essay form). Our grip on our own reality and our real world is stolen and we are forced to submit to their views, their values and their superficial world. We know this. We know what they are doing to try and dissolve our kiddie grooviness. They try and turn us into numbers. percentages. marks. But we know and we struggle. We fake their knowledge in order to escape from it. And we win. That little girl in the back of the classroom. She might look attentive and thoughtful but really, that look comes only from the illegally smuggled fairie cake which she is fiendishly nibbling from under the table.
We know what they are doing and we wont hate each other in order to compete any more. We will larf at you and we will cry at you and you will never understand us. Cus one day we will rise above them and they will still be stuck.

the kids are the only ones with anything useful to say. indoctrination is the thing wherein our original thoughts are stolen nand pre-conceived otions are replaced with thoughts and speech which enables us to commit banal conversation about the wether. so the kids, well some of the kids are the people who have resisted, i guess, psychic death. we haven’t been indoctrinated for as long as the adults (who think they are smart) thus we are still vibrant alive perceptive, alleged little shits. this is like a extrapolation of chomskys statement that the more educated one becomes the more susceptible to propaganda one becomes, made evident by my society and culture teachers self-proclaimed liberal progressive avant garde ooutlook and supported by the majority of kiddie zines which i have read. thems oldies don’t understand/review or even like us. live/create/love on yr own terms. PIMPLE POWER! we sezstuff people who take themselves too seriously without a good reason. cynical teen.
