Some People Want to Shape Your Mind

Some people have
Shaped your mind,
Squeezed your heart,
Formed your kind.

Some people have
Rounded your square,
Made you compassionate,
Showed they care.

Some people have
Pierced your circle,
Planned your future,
Left bricks for your castle.

Some people have
Added to your triangle,
Humanised your plans,
Made you deceitful.

Some people have
Painted you blue,
Given you a uniform,
Showed you what to do.

Some people have
Painted you red,
Liberated your emotions,
Left others dead.

Some people have
Painted you yellow,
Filled visions with hope,
Welcomed a fellow.

Some people have
Let you play,
Looked at their toys,
Ignored you today.
