Demonstration is Key


Teacher, Teacher may I ask,

What's so important about this task,

That you gave to us in a piece of paper

Assuming that we will be much more smarter?

Why don't you stand up and teach one of your subjects

In place of issuing us one of your edicts.

Your edicts do not teach us, they simply give us information

That you consider being important to our education;

But what's good of the information given to us, 

When we haven't had a chance to dicuss

The topic at all.

Therefore, I call

You to get up from your throne,

And with an enthusiastic tone,

Teach us through the equations of science and math

And hopefully guide us through the right path, 

Teach us through the alphabet of American Literature

And the debates from the politics of the impure.

After showing me the ropes through your physical help and aid,

Maybe then could you get paid.
