Beyond Reality


School is in session, so stop imagining

Of a different you who doesn’t need education

The world is saying “put aside the imagery,

Because we need more reality.”

 

Without education, how do you plan on living?

People say it will change their situation

Apparently, killing who you were means you’ll live

As long as you live in reality

 

Why is the school system deadening?

Education used to bring alive inspiration

School is meant to cultivate life, not EVER to be dead

So we can learn to live beyond reality

 

The world needs to be taught life in creating

So don’t trade imagery for a dead occupation

School is back, so there is a rallying cry to create:

Imagination invents reality
