Education

A Poem by Adam Parker
"

Britain, 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 .
