Invisible Chains

by

Katherine Tildes

Sometimes life seems unfair,
is that true or just another lie
that we are told when we are wee
to make us never ask why.
Never question the adults
and what they say.
Never criticize their beliefs,
no matter how alien they are to us.

Are we taught from birth
to sit back and let the world pass us by?
Are we taken in,
trained with expertise
to never question authority
or its reasons why?
Is that why the sciences exist,
to coerce us from age uno
that we are what we are?

But who really takes that bullshit.
Who honestly sits back and
takes it all in,
never raising a hand to
question the authoritative rule.
Not I
nor you.
Not anyone I know.
So why am I writing this poem?
to free myself from invisible chains.
