Nobody Cares

The Great Depression,

Or the market crashing down

Nobody cares! What?

 

Adding matrices,

Or microeconomics

We all could care less.

 

Holden Caulfield? Ugh.

Shakespeare is dead so stop it

And history bores

 

I want to learn life

Things I'll actually need 'kay?

Like getting a job

 

Maybe cooking too

Or how to find a good job

Not Herman Melville

 

Government? Yeah right,

Any math class, I hate it

Science? It's like death.

 

You expect a smile

And for me to stay awake

Then teach me something fun

 

When will I use pi?

Or even combinations?

Never, so why learn?

 

Classic rhetoric

Plato is irrelevant

At least to me. So?

 

I'd rather read Hughes

And talk about youth struggles

Music theory too

 

Instead you force me to listen to deconstruction theory,

I'm sick of it. I've been listening to you, now it's your turn to listen to me.
