Talking


Look at you stand behind your podium,

Giving us a lecture about God knows what,

Look around half the class is asleep,

But you keep going talking, talking, talking….

 

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

We don’t care about the pathogen theorem

Or when The war of independence was!

We want to know how to get into college,

Or how to get a good job!

 

We don’t want to know how to pass the Cahsee

Or Which path you think is good for us,

We want to set our own path and GET OUT OF HERE!!!

Get away form the tests that are chasing us and the bullies who are teasing us.

 

But you just keep sitting there,

Not seeing the cries for help on our faces,

You think well come to you for help but you wont help you'll just make it worse

So just stand there behind your podium talking, talking, talking….
