When I was in the 6th grade
My mom bought me a shirt
On it, It said **** The World
So I wore it to school
All my friends thought it was cool
The principle didn't
He made me wear my gym shirt over it
So that the one my mom got me was hidden
Back than I didn't know of the first amendment
Didn't understand the freedom of speech
Yet some how I still felt like,
A wrong was done to me
So I asked my principal what was so wrong with my shirt,
That he came to this decision
Did I not have the right to form my own opinion
Was the word "****" to ******
Is the world not ******
He simply replied,
"I simply can't have my students
wearing clothes with profanity on it.
Check your hand book
It's a whole page on it.
Now since you usually don't get in trouble,
I'll just give you detention
And call your mom."
Well detention only meant to me
That I wouldn't get to watch my favorite cartoon
Yet I was too young that I was getting penalized
For not fitting into societies platoon
But I was kind of worried about
What my mom would say
When I got home she asked
"How was your day"...
I told her my shirt said it all
She said good
Best 5 dollars I ever spent...
