Misjudgment

Location

A score.

A mocking, generic, monotonous score

defines us.

 

Humility, humanity, philanthropy,

do not matter, because only a score

defines us. 

 

Years of hardwork shattered by 

one final score, which

defines us. 

 

How can we prosper

How can we grow

if we are being manufactured 

to strive for a score that 

defines us. 

 

Hardwork, dedication, motivation

the hunger to be a purposeful human being,

the longing for a healthy life, a fulfilling life,

a life not built by the constraints of society

defines me.
