Education is in disarray


Education is in disarray
Nothing more is left to say:
No, lets not question why,
Let’s not even try,

The high men make the rules,
We just follow them like fools.

Why stop now?

Herds of sheep, cattle or moose, (- call them what you may.)
Always been, always on cruise,
Followers, be it good or evil,
Rules and rules, may law be cruel.

Simply, safely, veering off,
Forward, forward, don’t stop; not now.

Schedules, systems, all human creations,
Appraised, and held, like nature’s word.
Appear safe in the present,
Danger, danger in the future.

Always been on this same path,
Science, English, history and math.
Achieved so much, so great in all,
Rising faster, no chance to fall.

Simply said - Why stop now?

Reasons, science needs a lot,
Words and wisdom may be wrong,
But data, figures, research not.

Progress, progress, always forward,
Never stopping, to think and ponder.
Quicker, better, and even greater,
Accomplishments, we are proud of later,

Why now?
- If not now, then when?

Change our course, with small hops.
Let’s stop now, at progress’s cost
Before all happiness is forever lost.

This isn't entirely a good portrayal of my thoughts...the words/meanings have been twisted to fit the rhyming scheme...instead it should be the other way round (aka, it sucks). However, I had fun writing it for some reason... I liked the repetition of words (forward, forward; progress, progress; danger, danger; rules and rules). I'm such a child ;P
