Pondering Aimlessly

Why does the majority of our population overlook the arts? 

Is happiness; immersing the soul in a world of beauty, less important than smacking a homer? Making a goal? 

I suppose the world is more interested in turning its inhabitants into souless androids, blindly guiding them backwards to our former primitive mindset.  

Why do our school systems base intelligence on a single number? 

I thought we were born to stand out? Why clump a multitude of brains together, judging strengths and weaknesses on hastily written tests? 

Why don't we revolt? 

Why are our programs dwindling? 

Why won't someone save us? 

Why doesn't anyone see us drowning? 

Why do they turn their cheeks?
