A Childhood Trained by Validation

An entire life's generation
Of high marks
For what felt like no reason
But approved
The highness
A highness of its own
And upon the crown
Were weights
And as marks were delivered
The validdiction was developed
And when it ran out
I ran out
Of gas
But this economy
Is making a sustainable energy transition
Without a carbon tax
For paying for validation
Is the same as craving it
And so we've stopped sending geologists into the field
And started laying in the field
Feeling the sun
And the wind
And the rivers
But without blocking any of them
Generating the energy this body politic needs
To keep going
To build society
And Infrastructure
For as long as there is food
And sleep
And movement
And water
The wind and the rivers and the sun
Will keep this body alight
Aflame without the carbon monoxide
Of an addition well-educated
To validation
