A- A = A+

They all say, "Stop."    
Tell me what I can do and I can not.
State that I should be happy.
That knowledge should not be sought.
But in the end, where does that leave me?
In the web of ignorance, caught.
What would happen if...
All the knowledge was not taught.

How can you say.
What I can't not do?
It's really quite stupid.
I really ought to sue.
Look at the people out in the streets,
Wandering around without a clue.
All the things you tell us is right.
It really isn't new.

Lock me in  a cage.
The bars are wrought words.
Humans are just good at mimicry.
Copy knowledge like the mockingbirds.
Can you really tell me to listen to the things
That should not be heard?
Tell us what us what is right, neutral, and wrong.
Divide them in unequal thirds.
