Light


#yowo Knowledge is light

As the road to more knowledge brightens

It grows dimmer, as I reach the end of our supposedly free education

Taxes are taken out to pay for Elementary to High

But when my educations matters the taxes my parents pay

Won’t exist that day

Even though they’ll continue to pay

It won’t go toward the education I’ll be receiving in College

So my road to knowledge

Grows dimmer, because there isn’t enough green for me to remember the light.
