Is this really it,

the way the system works?

Has it been right or wrong all along,

or has it even begun.

 

I expected more from this,

more than just a hit or miss.

We need more who care,

not just someone who will teach, then stare.

We need the people who will inspire,

the ones that will lead us to chase our desires,

and ignite within us a significant fire,

not the ones who make us tired.

 

Everyday the good leave, and the bad stay,

Is it really worth all the pay?

Claiming to some as bad, but too many as good,

according to the system, it's clearly misunderstood.

 

They tell us were more than just a number,

that its never a competition.

If that's true, then why are we put into a system?

 

They may see in their eyes a sinking ship,

but do they really know of our hardships?

Why must we be based upon our grades, instead of our true work?

I feel the only way to be heard through all this competition,

won't even work through a simple petition.

 

So is this it, will it be like this forever, or not?

I can only hope it will come together in the end,

and become something that can be successfully said.
