Shouldn't it?

Location

 

Shouldn’t it be a sign?

When the stress of seven hours makes kids want to get high?

When they would rather take the failure

Than stand up in class,

Because speaking a few words

Makes them shatter like glass.

The fear that they feel

From their own administration

Shouldn’t that tell you there’s something wrong?

With the education in this nation.
