What Education?

They tell us we can be anything we wish to be!

Kids dream of being astronauts, princesses, and police officers

Never did we realize that it is all a lie

We get to high school and it is game over.

Students struggle with working out a basic algorithm,

Or writing a well-structured essay.

Kids dig for ideas in their empty brains to try and succeed in life.

 

Kids ask for help and have the urge to learn, but our

Superiors in the Government restrain themselves to help.

Instead the Government decides to create wars and invest our money

On weapons instead of books that can help our future.

They prefer us to be mindless and speechless about their actions.

 

When will they ever pay attention to education?

There are children out in the world that want to learn!

Not just fantasize about a dream job

They said no child is ever left behind

But from the looks of it numerous of children are left behind.
