Education.


Education.

What is it?

that which stimulates our brains by adding wit

What measures intelligence?

memorization, standardized test

..just to tell one of (the) many - he's the best.

And where does this leave ​she

the one with so much potential never to be set free

Education.

Aims to bring us success

but how does one learn lacking the proper rest? 

Classrooms,

filled with apathy versus interest

But who's to decipher between the two

Obviously the test administers have no clue

Education.

I want more..

Yes, more 

information for my mind to explore

Not just required useless things

Education!
