Dear board of education

Dear board of education We scream ... but you dont not listen You teach us about freedom of speech Just as long as we dont use it in terms of expression You say its great to have a voice just as long as you dont use it So they've been built only to keep under restriction? But you taught us that rosa parks said no Dr.king still marched Mandela, Douglass and Susan B Antony were still heard So that means thers hope right? But wait ... i remember learning about the constitution "How we all have freedom of speech" "Freedom of expression " And "right to Possession " Yet our voices are still kept under your jurisdiction Hearing us but refusing to listen Dear board of education This is why we scream and shout So you can finally take the time to hear us out Telling us we have an opinion but not granting us the wish for you to listen Yet you wonder why we are always hesitant when asked a question Fear pulling at the back of our throats is making us coke on our own answers So we dont understand whether or not you're asking a trick question Dear board if education No child left behind is a poor excuse for a slogan When our voices have been left behind so that only we can hear them Dear board of education They say that student involvement helps improve School reputation But were only allowed to get involved when we go with your opinions What happened to expression? ever since we were little you taught us to speak up and stand out But dear board of education As i got older i realized how my voice got silenced I have placed it in your hands so that it could be left behind... I have been left behind But Now that i am finally using my voice,i can tell that you do not like it Influencing others with my way of expression is making you nervous... but dear board of education As more students find their voice we will turn into a symphony And you will no longer be able to Block Us Out
