The Defining Numbers?

The world today is abandoning values

We are all simply numbers

An amount, a score, a grade

What categories do we fall under?

 

4.0? You're a great person

3.0? You're like the rest

2.0? Shame on you

And below? Enough said.

 

36? Congratulations, you're flawless.

33? An honorable student you must be

29? You settle for "just fine"

And below? You're just not worthy.

 

1800? Surely you're perfect.

1500? At least you try

1200? You need to be better

And below? You're a waste of my time.

 

So what number are you?

Are you simply a score?

Some GPA, ACT, and SAT numbers?

Or are you something more?
