What would you change


I once watched a video 

A video about creativity

The man said and I quote

creativity is being killed

schools don't want us to be creative

they want us to grow up

and become lawyers, teachers, and doctors

they ignore our dreams 

and tell us we're foolish

school sucks the creativity out of us

if I had one thing to change 

I would change schools so that they embrace our creativity

instead of discouraging us

they make classes especially for us

if I could change anything 

it would be restoring our generations creativity
