Knowledge is Power


The educated educators are educating the youth

The youth being forced to learn history and math

But even knowing that can still follow the wrong path

Teens everywhere disrespecting their elders

Making life changing decisions and losing their shelters

They know I comes before e except after c

But some are bullied so much its one escape they see

Just one way out

Some live with parents who shout

Babies having babies

Are you gonna graduate? They reply with maybes

Education is as important as oxygen in the air

Children need to know that people actually care

Learning academics is great

But what about life, what is really at stake?

They need to learn more about the importance of living

What to do in the situations that fate is giving
