Teach a Man How to Fish


The world is a hypocracy, full of lies and atrocities, so if I had to change something it would be probably:

 

How unfair the nation is while preaching equality;

just tax the one percent, and hand it out randomly.

See we need to increace education for lower class families,

who cant afford college and who need it so despiratly.

Teach the man how to fish, thats how we need to tackle this.

Otherwise we are just spinning our tires in ignorat bliss

Thinking that what we are doing will keep him full of the fish

that he needs to survive, and move up not just quit.

 

So what i would change would be how we aid to the poor. Instead handing them money more and more, we teach them how to get up and move forward. And finally break the cycle into which they were born.
