Dumb?

Schools should be priority
And free for all, who wish to learn
But, stupidity and greed
Put, the rich, the last to burn.

Though we can’t feed so many kids
And babies, homeless on our streets
What’s happened to our Nation?
When, education, is like, treats.

Teachers pay for their teaching aids
And, the crayons and pens
When it comes to our stupidity
It seems, it never ends.

When we let our young stay dumb
We just slip down, on the ruler
We’ll be the dumbest in the World
And, nothing else is truer!

We all are the stupid ones
To let “them” control our life
Just as society dictates
How to be, husband or wife.

I’m in no position
(‘cept, learned by my mistakes)
But, being sorry of the wrong
Is, not all that it takes.

Our Kids are the Human’s future
They will lead us where we go
But, if we don’t teach them anything
Then, they will never, ever know.
