I am an anti-social
And i refuse to believe that
I am talented
I realize this may be a shock, but
Me being talented
is a lie
In 30 years, i will tell my loved ones that i have my priorities straight because
Uselessness
Is more important than
Usefulness
I tell you this:
Once upon a time
I made use of my talents
But this will not be true in my era
For they are incompetent
Experts tell me
Creativity is time wasting
I do not conclude to that
Originality is not a crime
In the future,
We are imprisoned for being gifted
No longer can it be said that
Artists are gems to society
It will be evident that
Imaginations are rotting away
It is foolish to presume that
Talent and creativity is a flower in bloom
And all of this will come true unless we reverse it.
