Life is a series of test.
Will you pass or fail?
Does it mean anything,
if you do fail?
If so, what?
This is what makes life
so bleak.
A never ending cycle
with no peak.
These questions cause so
much strife.
And why:
because they’re void-
a blank wall,
lacking emotions.
No recipe,
no potion
can fix the way
Society has pushed,
an education that
doesn’t teach.
Teachers who don’t
speak
It seems as if knowledge,
as if life, is superficial now.
Who will pass or fail?
At the end of the day,
no one really knows
or will ever know.
Society is our teacher,
and she never grades fairly.

This piece is about how Society rules the way we live our lives. Everything we do Society has an opinion. So no one ever really knows the outcome of their own lives. It seems as if Society determines that.
