Right now there is a kid arguing with his mother saying,
“Why do I have to study classes that I won’t ever use in life?”
And she will look at him blankly an lie.

“Well you need these classes to get a good degree this is good for you
I never had this opportunity when I was younger” an the boy will say
“But you were young a long time ago weren’t you mom”
And all that he was implying was that society has changed since she was 16.

Students how many equations subjects and dates, have you memorized
Just before an exam that you will never use again in life.,
How many A’s have you received in a class on material that you will never see again.
How many of you want to be more than that letter grade that you receive.

She could only look at him in a bluer, because she knew he was right
Because she never understood it herself.  

“We all have different abilities so why is a class full
Of individuals tested by the same means”.

Society doesn’t care what you have to go through in your
Life, they just want the money that they get out of it.

“The same society that looks downs on abortion but then
Looks down on teenage parents”.

“The same society with priest that preach charity but own private jets”.

“The same society with government that preaches peace but provoke war’s”.

“The same society that Believe in higher education but
Increase tuition fee’s every year.”

The same society that looks down on high school drop
Out’s but make the work kids do in school harder an harder.

The same society that look down on home less people
But won’t do anything to help them.

The same society that promotes healthy eating
But how can we be healthy when every piece of meat we eat has been injected with hormones.
And every vegetable we eat has been sprayed with fertilizer before we eat it. why
Can’t they just let vegetable’s and fruit grow naturally?.

The same society that looks down on fat people
But doesn’t realize everybody can’t be a size 2, 4 or 6

“The same society that tell’s you not to swear
But doesn’t realize that Shakespeare was known as the creator of slang”.

The same society that will suck you in, and spit
You out like you are nothing.

The same society that supports justice but sends
Innecent people to jail for no reason

The same society that supports justice but lets
Killers get away with murder.

“The same society that tests you on a history or math final’s but never test
You on the biggest test of all, survival”.
