I learned to read and write at school. I educated myself during my traveling and adventures . I learned to swim well but it was in life's whirlpool From thugs in the streets I got my lectures Life provided me with the courses My Failures harden my resolves I got taught by my personal experiences To get my bread I had to join pack like the wolves . My tests were my challenges ,help came from no connection. I failed a few courses and had to do remainders . Yet through it all , I persevered grace to my street education , I was promoted to the class of those called breadwinners . Somehow I knew my only way out was to hustle So I set out to find myself but missed my way many times I ate grass ,lighted trees ,ran the streets to beat the struggle From the streets I learned to calculate my nickles and dimes . I discovered poetry from the greatest book called the Bible , Written by the author and finisher of my faith , Jah most high After writing my first poetry thru prayers ,I knew I was able Thank God for the school of life ,I know everything will be aight ! twitter @ivanclappers #vanguardpoetry23 #IvanBrookspoetry

The School Of Life
I learned to read and write at school. I educated myself during my traveling and adventures .

Life is a school that teaches many things beyond reading and writing .
