One Day

Day after day, little Barney
Goes to school with his friends
He studies because he has to
His parents must be proud of him
Barney grows up, as his knowledge
He learned abstraction
Thought process and questioning

Time's passing by
His studies go on
But now Barney
Think about the world
And, at least, end of studies
Must now find a job
To earn his own money
In order to feed his family
Then he is questioning
What is this world ?
I don't understand !
No one applies
What we learned

Stupid !
You're so stupid !
I don't understand !
I can't believe what I see !
I can't accept what I see !
Oh ! How could I live
By knowing all this...
All these years of studies
To realize that...

So Barney
Wants to change the world
But he can't, not enough power
Life must go on
In this universe
He accepts its absurdities
So it is
Better
To be
Clever
And lucid
Or to be
Stupid and
Blind ?
Stupidity
is a bless
In this damn world
And lucidity,
What a paradox,
Seems to be
Malediction !
Day after day, the old Barney
Keeps on living
And raising his kids
So they become lucid.
One of them will have
Enough power
To, at least, change this reality !
