9 to 5

9 to 5

A Poem by Scott Carter

Your children catch the bus to school
They learn to sit and follow rules
They learn to read and learn to write
They're told they'll need to in there lives
Tho they're told this and yes its true
A deeper purpose I see through
Cuz now your kid can read and write
Everyday at their nine to five

A thought-provoking piece, certainly modern education was designed to create cogs for a machine which are interchangeable. However, only with the knowledge of literacy can one discover the great philosophers and thinkers and radicals. It's a shame that we teach how to read but not how to seek. But also there's a lot of dummies out there that just need to be molded into decent cogs for a machine.
