Cramming your mind with knowledge
So that you know about the world around,
But how is the Quadratic Formula
Supposed to keep me safe and sound?
And what about commas and semicolons?
Will they help me pay my debt?
Maybe if I write a book on grammar,
But definitely not yet. 
Memorizing useless information
Just to get an “A” on that test.
If only learning was the real goal.
Or the old saying, “Just do your best!”
