Gillian Feeney
Walls:
Walls of bourgeois words and snobbery.
Walls of deeper meanings and analyzation.
Walls of scholars saying no,
to a child who simply wants to learn.
Walls of elitist ideology and walking cliche.
A Hemingway hero if I’ve ever seen one.
Orwellian society if I’ve ever encountered one.
Reverence for Shakespeare’s excellence.
Tone deaf pseudo-intellectuals tearing down kids,
because that was all they were ever taught.
Judge what is undiscovered,
persecute what fails to conform.
Endless cycles of disappointment
and displacement.
Burn the witch,
but don’t ask why.
