Sh*t You Can't Say to Your Teacher Scholarship Slam

Education!

What education

Understand what I mean 

When I say this

Education

Education

You can be such a sadist

Education?

Ha

Once in a blue moon

Education

Take me to my doom

Handcuff me 

And throw away the key

Because you, Education are no friend to me!

An enemy more like it 

Education

You are the key!

Where's the lock?

And tell me where's the locksmith?

Education!

Yes. You are important

I've called you several times

To my rescue, you have a fault

My call 

You seem to always decline 

Education

Exactly what are you, what are you not?

Explain to me 

Exactly how you work

Education!

You can be such a flirt

See education

You have yet to surface

Explain to me 

The real philosophy

Behind your work

Education!

Educate me 

Or should I throw blame unto another?

For my education is held captive

Captive by a human being, no better than 

I

But, how is it 

Such a philosphy can be given or taken away

By this human 

of mortality

It seems to exist

The only way education

Can educate me 

Is if this human 

knows what education really is 

but education is no thing

For it does not live

So the teacher 

who decides to give less than all

holds my future in their

begotten hands

So tell me Education

Who do I balme?

I can surely blame you!

For your practices be less than tame!

Education!

Inform me 

Dear teacher 

Who taught me the sum of two 

Why did you not teach me how 

not to look blue

when the bully picked on me

Teacher! 

why did you not teach me?

Education does not simply exist in a box!

Teacher!

Quiet my classmates! I cannot learn!

Teacher!? You do not care?

Teacher I yearn

For you to grasp what teaching is

Teacher!

Teacher!

My hand is up

I know I am not your favorite

But 

I see the answer is thus 

Teacher

Educate me!
