what is an honest education?
what could a teacher teacher even know?
skip school
no reason
I learn at home
so so
I bite the hanging nail
see the red blood curl round the cuticle
shake shake your head
kill your brain cells
dead
could be the season of solipsism?
shifting the blame
pivot like a politician
who’s on the ballot?
who’s on the ballot?
nobody knows
just look out at the
burning pavement
“hey that's improvement!”
I heard someone saying
so many faces
so many fading
it makes you wonder
makes you wonder
who’s that girl that’s so strong
and so confident?
who’s that boy that eats wrong
and stays hungry?
who’s that person that cannot be put
into a category?
everyone
look at every one
can’t concentrate on what I’m reading
get on a roll but when I think of you
have to start my page
over and over again
my perfect day
was spoiled by raining
hey don’t be stupid
I heard someone saying
so many people
get packed onto buses
it makes you wonder
makes you wonder
who’s that girl that’s so strong
and so confident?
who’s that boy that eats wrong
and stays hungry?
who’s that person that cannot be put
into a category?
everyone
look at every one
