when did MY education
become more important than supporting those who died.
from those who took a bullet.
and lost their lives
to save others.

when did MY education
become more important than doing something about gun violence.
from anyone who died
for those
who lived.

when did MY education
become more important than the real issues
that cause this whirlwind of a country
to fall apart at its own feet.

when did MY education
start to become more important
than checking more carefully for those who hold barrels against someone's head
and pull the ******* trigger.

MY education is not about if i know how to solve ***** formula's
but knowing the difference between logic and knowledge
between right and wrong
between peace and war.

so
instead of understanding the complete differences between peace and war
this country uses war to claim it's for peace.
this country confuses two polar opposites to somehow be useful for the other.
this country confuses right and wrong with whatever kind of leader it has.

violence is sorely mistaken as a solution for peace.

there is no logic.
there is no knowledge.
there is only lack of education
to the violence we create
as a nation.
