Is this message overlooked,
Because this message did not come from The Old Book
Nor was this message burning in a bush
It wasn't in a novel
Neither did it come in a floatin' bottle
This message is doesn't stem from millions petitionin'
or from the masses marchin' with their feet blisterin'.
So to get my message out I had to improvise
Put it on the net and watch it digitalize.
"I never had this opportunity when I was younger."
"Without school your mind will hunger."
"You need school to be successful."
"Your life will be a lot less stressful."
"It'll help you get a job."
"Make us proud."
"Education is the key."
All of which our parents say.
At the time we all thought it a help to our resume'
But now we know that our parents didn't realize this was a lie.
Since they don't know better themselves.
Even though our parents stopped helping us with homework in 6th grade.
Never used or applied the pythagorean theorem, pathetic fallacy, or the preamble to the constitution.
Parents will rely on standardized testing to value their child's intelligence
who may actually have the sharpest mind in the school.
They will listen to a boring teacher who encourages those test and believe their child
is hyper active, misguided, and unfocused.
The error in the way is that society grades the students' worth
but this is the same society that says abortion is wrong, but looks down on teenage parents.
Need I say more?
