In All Honesty
In all honesty,
The world could be a better place,
More oxygen, less carbon dioxide,
Hole in the ozone as unrealistic as the
Lackluster
Wasted
Words
Spewing from pretty faces,
In all honesty,
You’re breathing air someone else could be breathing,
Someone who will put their mind to good use,
From whose brain, ideas could be seething
If not for the clots of sheer stupidity
Placed their by their own oxygen deficiency
Because you’re filling the atmosphere
With useless words and air that’s
Impossible
To breath,
A cookie once told me a fortune,
Said to me that the great aim of education
Was not Knowledge but Action,
And even though we are in school for decades,
Most of us will amount to nothing of Use,
We will be Wastes of Space,
Gas Guzzlers,
Consumers of everything Alive,
Leaving the Wastes to decompose
In Putrid Masses,
Never giving back to the
Mother that raised Us,
We’re breathing air someone else could be breathing.
We’re going to make fusses of our grades,
Graduate,
Make more fusses,
Graduate again,
And afterwards
Have nothing to show for it,
No great contribution will be made to the World
By the girls who sat in Calculus
And complained,
Never learning ho to be
Problem Solvers,
No inspiring innovation will be thought of
By the boys who talked through Chemistry,
Never learning how to
Think Outside The Box,
No medical miracles will be performed
By the students who texted through Biology,
Never learning to
Look at the World around Them
And See the Possibilities,
I think we all have the Potential
Brain’s as Big as Einstein’s,
As Bright as Edison’s,
As Wise as Lincoln’s,
But We Don’t Try.
And So People Die.
In wars and stores,
In hospital rooms,
In Third Worlds,
And it is We Students that should be held
Responsible,
It is We Students that should make
The Change.
