Education's Lack of Leisure

To an educational system so focused on success,

Why is it that the ones who get opportunities are only the best dressed?

To an educational system wanting to comprehend our studies,

Why is it that we have so much homework that we are neglecting our buddies?

Yes I understand, the power, the demand

The pull to be better than the other schools

Yet its our life you refuse, so that you don’t lose

Sometimes the biggest educational treasure

Is found in leisure
