TEACH!


Sh*t you can’t tell your teachers

I can’t use Romeo and Juliet in the real world

I need something more

It just makes my head sore

I just can’t see how reading, writing, and sighting will get me anywhere

I want to do something to make me a better leader

Not too were if I forget the answer I have to be a cheater

Because if I don’t pass you’ll all call me dumb

When really I have more common sense than a plum

It’s not that I don’t understand it or get it

It’s that you all don’t give to spits

You sit at your desk and give us a worksheet

And I ask for help but you just sit there in a comfy seat

We all need taught

Not to be bought

We aren’t just another paycheck for your vacation

We are the future of this nation

Please just get up and show us all how an atom works

Not just sit at your desk and give us busy work you jerk

Not all of us learn that way

Now it’s time for me to say

We will only learn if you teach us

Not just let us fall under the bus

And can’t make it out

I’m going to shout

Teachers! Stop being lazy

And just maybe get crazy

Because we give you something in return

And a diploma we want to earn

Just get up and teach is all I ask

Don’t sit there and give us sass

TEACH! If you get up and explain it we will learn it

If you give us a worksheet and expect us to sit

And not understand

I want you to TEACH! It’s my demand.
