EducationA Poem by Adam ParkerBritain, education .
education has failed the masses, w its ritualistic implementation of "knowledge",
Our brains are empty sacks that hang down to our knees a hole is ripped in the side and all gradually slides out. Not the straw , but the hay bale that broke the camels back, no account for passion or creativity, "Do something that will get you a job" "Is this good to put on my CV" "Do I need to learn this for the exam?" F**k off. Today I feel like George because oh well, what's the point, every day is Monday in 1984, with bland bland BLAND mashed potatoes for tea , don't forget the side of parched peas!! " I'm now going to display how to paint on a white background but only using the colour white" said the Director for pupils at the Church of England school. Now if you want to express yourself , take a gun into school , said Tim from Minnesota. don't do any of that fancy pancy s**t , get working lad - said Keith from Lancashire Why would you go into a job you hate just to impress a person called Keith? Do what you want , and go to university Study , read and don't stop , get out of the box they put you in . © 2017 Adam Parker |
