Now I know that in and throughout this unique nation

Success is based mainly on education

So I was one of the few who decided, long ago

To be the best student and make some dough

Of course, it wasn't, as it's never, all that easy

For one, fellow students began to tease me

At first, I stuck it out, trying not to complain

But these simple minds were driving me insane

So, as I'm told, I confide in my teacher

Asking her to discipline them, I beseech her

But, of course, there was "Nothing she could do"

And their teasing and bullying incresed as time flew

Along with all that, I was "obligated"

To help the ones by whom I was humiliated

Now as years of this past me by

And I arrived at the school of high

I realized I was not alone

And found a place I could call home

Now most kids aren't so fortunated

And their problems are still seen as innocent

So, come on, teach! help the smart and fragile

Grant your future a childhood and a smile

With your help, that child may be

On their way to success, like me!
