Do not treat education as business.
They’re making millions off children
who reside in subsidized housing.
They're making millions off children
who ask mother "what's for dinner?"
even though it's 10:00 pm
and the lack of food in their stomach
has given them a hint as to what the answer is.
They’re making millions off children
who’ll end up dead or in jail before they’re 18.
If you don’t care or if you’re okay with that,
then just keep quiet.
Keep your opinions to yourself.
We’re all entitled to our own.
Quite frankly, I am not offended.
All I ask is that you don’t tell me
it's wrong to want change.
The education system in this country
is bound to fail many, but that does not mean
that I have to as well.
Do not tell me I can't cause change.
