Childish Display of Authority


You give out work like it's our only class,

You never teach you just sit on your lazy ass.

We're bored to death when you talk: "Okay!"

That's the only word I hear you say!

 

If anything isn't your way, it's wrong,

You've been acting as a dictator for too long!

Everything has to be convenient for you,

My gosh you're inconsiderate and selfish too!

 

Because I'm not an adult, you treat me bad.

You act disrespectful, even if you aren't mad.

Your tone is rude when you talk to me,

Acting oblivious, as if you can't see.

 

You demand things even if I can't afford them,

Your roll your eyes: "You get a zero then!"

I hate listening to you talk, you're so terrible!

Being in your class is almost unbearable!

 

I see through your facade when your sweet voice will hover,

You deceive the ones who can't pick out your cover.

The things you assign contradict your words,

All of your lies run through in herds.

 

You're so out of touch, you're so old school,

You think you understand, but you're just a fool.
