Whatever!

It is heard from words spoken,
How it is people want their kids...
To succeed and enjoy,
A quality of life to live and be happy.
Sold to sell this told to anyone listening.
Yet...
Hypocritically contradicting themselves.
As if blinded.
Restricted to their own mental limits.
And truth to hear it only if fictioned.
Or removed from schools,
Where teaching lessons determines...
From what books are used.
After others have been censored.
If too much reality,
Awakens the minds bored.
By the creating of homemade delusions.

And knowing this to exist these days,
Not a word to hear heard...
Expresses better than 'whatever!'
To observe and witness,
The priorities of the people.
Who claim to want,
A better life for their children.
Yet themselves can not read nor write.
Or either their children.
Who are encouraged to remain down to Earth.

'Sometimes a mouth to open,
Is better than if kept closed!'

'And this to experience your mouth open,
Will be mine, I guess?'

'How do you believe,
Your children can and will achieve success...
When you are encouraging them,
To never change.
Remain the children they are...
Unchanged, good polite children.
With a doing to stay down to Earth.
And become as useless as door knobs,
On a revolving door.
The children?
I can understand.
The parents?
I'm not so forgiving.'

'Whatever!
My great grandfather chopped wood,
And picked both tobacco and cotton.
Making a wonderful life for his family.
Earning fifty dollars a week.
Ambition, incentive, motivation and desire.
That's all he had.
And not a college degree either!
These days not to earn one but to pay for it."

'When was that?
That your great grandfather earned,
Fifty dollars a week?
Back in the 1800's!?'

'Correct.
You are right.
And...
Managed to save something each week too.'

'Are you aware of what time it is?'

'Yeah.
Why?
What's wrong with your cellphone?'
