Listen to this one thing If you learn nothing from me
Please learn this
You are worth more than your price tag One day you will be a mountain A force to be reckoned with The scars of your past dont predict your future child
Please learn this
Knowledge is power But they don't know that yet So power up with your charged haunches Spring yourself out of this village
Please don't learn this
Helplessness Let got of it Don't wear it like a bronze metal Apathy and irony hanging on your chest
Please learn this
A man leads by example Choose your next words wisely Think before you unleash your palms She does not deserve it
You are only my student for 9 months Then I am off to who knows where But please Learn this one thing from me
You are better than the broken branches of your family tree So act like it
This is more of a frustration of culture more than anything. But I guess you could call it a poem as well. There is a learned disposition here and it is one of learned helplessness. And It is a rather difficult disposition to teach.
