Ruler




His miniature fingers
Scratched the colours
Across the page
Into a collage of nonsense
And they called it Art

But then he grew up
And they forced into those hands
A ruler
And a warning
To stay within the lines

Now they say
He knows his place
After they made him forget

  1. Literally how society makes a child 'grow up'. Touching lines.

  2. No wonder how many Einsteins and Mozarts we have lost in the process...
