Dear Congress,


Dear Congress, Dear Congress, This is how I addressed you today Dear Congress, I was supposed to thank you for the things that you did for me. Dear Congress, It made me sick Dear oh Dear Congress, You do not deserve my thanks, You see it was for my schools Gear Up program That apparently you pay for? It helps us pay to go to collage campuses and educate us over a higher education. But if you weren't cutting the public school funds, So small that my school has literal holes in the walls, We wouldn't need it My teachers don't get paid Because you want future generations ill-educated Because you give more money to prisons than public schools Because you want us to blindly follow you. But I refuse You can make schooling just for the rich But my country will not turn into a dictatorship! I refuse to conform to this ideal that middle And lower class Is lesser than you! Dear Congress, Where is your heart? Dear Congress, Wait. I forgot. You Dont Have One Much Animosity, High School Government Student Who Is Smarter Than You.
