The
Prisoner by Stephen J.M. Bray
When,
as children we resign from society because we experience
it as subjugating our free flowing awareness we face
formidable opposition from adults, many of whom are well
versed in the subtle arts of the Prisoners
village. We are not numbers, we are free
beings, we cry out silently as registration is taken
in the classroom. We reject and resign from this world
where adults package and label us within the memes of
conformity to the values of a dangerous world. But our
protests are to no avail. And so we are punished, or
medicated, depending on the adults surrounding us. We
are prisoners and our society is no less the
village, for aspiring to be global in its values.

the Exceptionally Gifted Child by Joe Sinclair

their peers.
