Cheat Me


Do you see that kid cheating?

That one over there

The one who uses my hard work

I know you do

It isn’t fair

 

Do you see that kid cheating?

You give him the A

Now my A means nothing

We both earned it but different ways

 

Do you see that kid cheating?

You do nothing but stare

His neck craning for my paper

I cover it but who cares?

 

 He cheats and he cheats til I am left used

And if he is caught we will both be abused

So look at him cheating and let it go on

For people cheat people and life just goes on

Don’t teach him a lesson

Teach me instead

Life isn’t fair

Hard work is dead

 

People cheat people and come out ahead

So look at him cheating

Give him a wink

When I fill out my answers wrong

What will you think?
