The Moral Crisis


Moral reliance must be out of the question

When smoking pot and driking like a fool

Is what makes you "cool"

 

You work your hardest to get that A

And the "cool kid" gets just the same

Because he has the right name

 

The teaher wants to win the big game

So although the star football player skips every class

He is given the grade to pass

 

We seem to be alone in this fight

Teachers give in to negative pressure

Take care of what is right, not just your tenure
