Tesla, Tesla symphony orchestra
Harmony of tech and art
Your charisma drives me crazy
You’re the car that drives me mad

Oh Tesla my love, Tesla my love
A love for a lifetime

Oh Tesla mi amor, tesla mi amor
Amor por la vida

No more spark plugs to replace
No more oil to change and waste
No more gas to buy and burn
No transmission tricks to learn

San Francisco to LA
We’ll blast our playlist all the way
For three hundred eighty miles
In romantic mode we’ll stay

Oh Tesla my love, Tesla my love
A love for a lifetime

When I saw you it was not a love at first site
I couldn't believe that beauty and intelligence
Could co-exist so peacefully

Oh Tesla my love, Tesla my love
A love for a lifetime

Oh Tesla mi amor, Tesla mi amor
Amor por la vida

No more power steering leak
No more engine there to tweak
No more opening the hood
No emission test for good

To the moon TSLA
Autopilot all the way
For a quarter million miles
In romantic mode we’ll stay

Oh Tesla mi amor, Tesla mi amor
Amor por la vida

Tesla, Tesla symphony orchestra
Harmony of tech and art
Your charisma drives me crazy
You’re the car that drives me mad

Oh Tesla my love, Tesla my love
A love for a lifetime...

No we're not learning about inventors.
No we're not learning about scientists.
If we were, that would be great,
But we're not,
Instead we're learning about lying thieves,
And overrated ones at that.
We should be learning about real inventors,
That didn't steal ideas from others,
And were lucky enough not to have ideas stolen from them,
Like George Westinghouse.
We should be learning about real inventors,
And real scientists,
That sadly went unrecognized,
Because their ideas were stolen,
By so called inventors,
That were in reality total jerks,
Like Nikola Tesla,
And Rosalind Franklin.
However, instead of learning about true inventors like them,
We're learning about the likes of Thomas Edison,
Guglielmo Marconi,
James Watson,
And Francis Crick.
Here's a "fun fact" about Thomas Edison,
He promised Nikola Tesla 50 grand,
In exchange for fixing his machines.
However, when Nikola Tesla was finished,
Several months later,
He not only didn't pay Tesla,
He mocked him for asking,
He said that he was joking,
And according to some, he was offered a raise of 10 dollars
According to others, he asked for a raise, and was denied it,
Either way, Tesla quit.
Here's a "fun fact" about Guglielmo Marconi,
He didn't invent the radio,
Nikola Tesla did.
However, Marconi pulled an Edison,
And stole Tesla's invention from him.
Luckily, although sadly too late,
Tesla was rewarded the patent.
Here's a "fun fact" about James Watson and Francis Crick,
They took credit for Franklin's discovery.
Why do we have to sit in social studies,
Listening to Youtube videos,
And reading books,
And doing plays,
That people created for school kids,
About so called inventors.
When instead,
We could be reading books,
Listening to Youtube videos,
And doing plays,
That we created ourselves,
About real inventors.
I want to get a real education.
I want to learn about the truth,
Instead of lies.
So please teachers,
Principals,
Superintendents,
Common Core Professionals,
State Test Professionals,
Please let us learn about the truth,
Please don't make us learn about lies.
This is also how I feel, however since I'm not learning about that subject right now, I decided to make Olive Goldstein, a character I made up the speaker instead.

Nikola Tesla
respected physicist
Thomas Edison’s
dubious nemesis.

Electricity
was his toil
was famous for
his Tesla Coil.

Radical dreamer
of free power
J.P. Morgan
made things sour.

Lovingly
nature’s servant
proposer of
alternating current.

Humble inventor
that transformed homes
famously stated
he loved all tomes.
