Hypocrites Poem by Amanda Ford

'Live life to the fullest',
That's what they say,
Yet here we are,
Hidden away.

Locked in a building,
Kept out of sight,
So visitors cant see us,
And call us horribly unright.

We're given work to do all day,
And sent home late at night.
When home, we do reach,
We're still kept out of sight.

They give us curfews,
and lock us in
and just to be sure,
they pile on homework with a grin.

And just to be safe,
we have chores to do too,
Locked safely away,
like animals in a zoo.

If we question their motives on locking us away,
They plast on a smile and so politely say
'Your an immature child
And so horribly vile

You wear all black,
From head to toe,
And offend and cuss,
No matter where you go.'

And upon this lie,
We intelligently replie,
'Well, when put to the test,
We've learned from the best.'

And with our innocent smile,
Which we've put on for the while,
We turn and we grin,
As we're told how we've sinned.

But when will they see,
The intelligent me
Has figured it out
And turned the situation about.

For all things do end,
I tell you my friend,
As will their parade,
And beautifully crafted charade.

For i've learned everything from them,
And it'll bring about their end,
For once and for all
The truth is installed

For the guns and the roses
We've been taught how to use
To love or to hate
Either as we choose

And what they dont know
As they teach us to row
Is they skills can be used
To free the abused

So as they teach us for them
They inevitably hurt themselves
For the rules have been bent
And taken off the shelf

The lessons we learned
Have not been ruined or burned
But cleverly crafted
To save us from our hell.
