Let it Burn
Location
At times it seems like money grows on trees
because the governement lets go of money like it's shaking of fleas
$40,000 dollars they spend on each prisoner each year
and less than $8,000 is spent on a student, does that not make you want to shed a tear?
Perhaps this is the why more and more are drawn to prisons each day
they know they will be taken care of and will never have to repay
Students are taken advantage off, they go to schools they believe they can afford,
only to find they have raised tuition, thanks to the board
this inequality is the epitome of injust
In no more people, or government do we hold trust
We pay more money than we can ever pay back
all the debt and despair weighs on us and pulls us off track
Is there no solution, no one that cares?
but then I look to the mirror, I can be the one to fix these tears
in the fabric of education, ripped beyond what a single thread could hope to repair
But together, with each person a needle and thread, this resolution we can share
And sew together a better tomorrow, for if we do not care
Who will?
