The world is full Of unwilling Experimental human beings, Devotees to the Slavery of school, Consuming all assortments Of meaningless gibberish In the most confusing of ways, Wasting energy To waste energy, To end up in a Low paying job With too many bills And useless knowledge, Those fortunate souls Work hard, Some go to college Where they get an expensive piece of paper That may be on the wall for show And means that its owner May be smarter than the average joe, Walking down the street, School doesn't prepare for the future It only tells of the past, Creativity and eccentric ways Are mildly shunned , Information is taught for 13 years And yet few is retained by most, So are schools systems failing? It's safe to say they are. It needs to change.

The meaningless of school
The world is full Of unwilling Experimental human beings, Devotees to the Slavery of school, Consuming all assortments Of meaningless gibberish In the most confusing of ways, Wasting energy To waste energy, To end up in a Low paying job With too many bills And useless knowledge, Those fortunate souls Work hard, Some go to college Where they get an expensive piece of paper That may be on the wall for show And means that its owner May be smarter than the average joe, Walking down the street, School doesn't prepare for the future It only tells of the past, Creativity and eccentric ways Are mildly shunned , Information is taught for 13 years And yet few is retained by most, So are schools systems failing? It's safe to say they are. It needs to change.
