You are wrong

Poetic Dan

They said if you don't pay attention you'll never go far 

 

Life is not a game and you need to learn more and more 

 

All of these subjects will give you knowledge to use 

 

So I sat and I blagged all that regurgitate thoughts that amused 

 

While watching the body language of those that got confused 

 

Many didn't know what to do with automatic detention quickly let loose 

 

Others soon realised and spoke with genuine glee 

 

As if they knew the game I played and then played along with me 

 

Many things I have remembered, many things I have forgot 

 

I still don't care for the complexity of a language or mathematical equation 

 

When most don't even love the life they have got 

 

Many made me think I could build a spaceship by time I was 40 

 

Now I see I've been on one all along 

 

Learning to have the courage for when people say 

 

"You are wrong."

 

Luckily I play my own song!

    We must all go our own way in this life, if we all went the same way it would get awfully crowded.
