why cant i?


why cant i

tell my teacher that 

there are more important things than the square root of 247

or that she should truly open her mind

and teach us to do the same?

why cant i

tell my teacher that

we should really be taught about 

the rape in darfur and the civil war in eygpt 

or that the clothing brands we're making our parents

slave

away at their jobs for use children in taiwan who truly

slave

away in factories?

why cant i

tell my teacher that

we should really be taught 

about the global warming that is so extremely affecting our weather

or to be activitsts

instead of passivists

why cant i?
