Blinded

School, an institution that focussees more on tolerance than intlligence.

A monetary sinkhole which provides a service to the growing youth.

Many claim that education is instilled; however, the youth stare blankly. 

Moving on.

How may one succeed when education is not instituted for suceess, rather a metaphorical jail the youth dread.

Test day arrives.

All fail.

The instructor scolds the youth and punishes them.

What did this teach them?

The ability to understand they didn't fail, education did.

Blinded.

The educational system blames the individual.

Good marks in school do not guarantee success later in life.

Success comes from character; self determination.

With this deterfmination comes a light from a supporter.

Someone who knows you will succeed will grant support.

The success of future generations rest upon the shoulders of an instructor who remains only for monetary compensation.

Blinded.

You have not failed, education has failed you.

A self determined will can only go so far.

When a man is in the dark, he is blinded.

Darkness captivates him and consumes his weary will.

Without a candle, you cannot see in the darkness, and will always be blinded.

The educational system needs to provide more candles.

Then the youth will be successful.
