People always tell me a nice congratulation,
They say Imma make it till graduation.
Get good grades, study at school,
Find a nice house, and life will be cool.
But honestly, I don't know what to do anymore,
In school I've mastered every common core.
In learning I've fallen into an endless loop,
Class is just another wild fucking coop.
I don't even know where to go for college,
Why are we only defined by classroom knowledge?
Why are we defined by one little letter?
Why does that determine who's worse or who's better?
I know about the men that took world flights,
But I was never taught my Human Rights!
Teachers preach about the Roman and the Greek,
But I don't know how to help the poor or the weak!
I can plant seeds and name 30 types of trees,
Yet I'm clueless on how to fucking pay tuition fees!
Listen, I'm not trying to be rude,
I have a right to speak so fix ya attitude!
My thoughts had kept my mouth shut for way too long,
Soon came to realize the school system is wrong.

- Comment from author about the poem: I always often found that the way school's run in our common society was ridiculous. It got to the point where for my Language Arts poetry unit, I wrote a poem about the school system and read it to the class! That was my first official poem from approximately December, so I was often praised for such little poetic background I had and still managed to write a decent piece of work. I hope you like it regardless ♥

Very nice poem, poems truly come out better when you put emotion and it is easy to see you put an immense amount of feeling. Keep up the good work

school doesn't teach us about life , does it? how to cope if things go wrong in life, how to learn skills for life .. they just teach us so many things, which actually in reality if you think about it , they are pretty useless knowledge, when you think about it .. you speak true words . yep , who cares if one person gets an a grade one gets a e grade , i doubt it says much
Glad someone agrees!! Although I love learning, it’s hard to believe they will fill our minds with these things, yet won’t take time to help us learn teachings regarding life assets.
