5 More Minutes

Location

Come on

Only 5 more minutes

What have I learned today

Focus

The focus is on sports

And new Mac books in the library

And flat screen TVs in the cafe

 

4 more minutes

This was my last year

My last experience with a free education system

But what have I learned

Well...

 

3 more minutes

My favorite programs were never recognized

"Dance is not a sport"

But cheerleading is

"The arts aren't important

Give all the money to sports"

 

2 more minutes

Getting bullied

Not my problem

Family issues

Not my problem 

Just pass your class

It makes me look good

 

60 seconds

Did I pass my classes 

Yeah

Will I get into a good college

Probably

So why isn't that enough
