The Facts of Reality


When facts battle reality Reality seldom achieves desired victory Because the fact is that Students will do anything for a grade As long as it is above a low "C." The reality, however, is that grades Won't start my careers and Tests only skim the surface of the mess That is my intellect. If it's facts that you want Then facts you'll get, But learning is so much more Than cramming for my next test. If I'm going to experience and live in reality I need empowerment of knowledge As well as actuality.
