New Education


For four long years The students sit and stare At the walls of the school Asking why they are there They sleep all day in class Not an interest in learning But who can blame them anyways The repetition table keeps turning Year after year Classes remain the same Reading, math, science Again and again and again The wasted time hurts The repetition kills They find relief in other things Like drugs and popping pills X and Y and Z and F What's the actual use They need to be taught REAL problems Like racism, hunger, child abuse They need to teach cults They need to teach brutality They need to teach scams They need to teach reality There's a reason students dread going to school They feel that there's nothing taught That when real life calls them to bring real skills to the table There's nothing to be brought The education system doesn't need a change It needs a re-construction It needs a new build from the ground up A whole new introduction
