An Evaluation of Education
Can we take a second to speculate
On how we educate
Our youth to date?
Why do we carry these expectations--
Heavy stipulations
About academic situations?
Measuring worth in our reputations
Instead of inspirations
And motivations
People have too many reservations
About adequate preparations
For these applications
Trying to find the best way to decorate
And elaborate
On what we think they evaluate
But we can't escape the suffocation
Of our consternation
From these complications
It seems like our entire generation
Has given up innovation
For imitation
We need to take a long exhalation--
Think about relaxation,
To reach a revelation:
We are not what's repeated in our recitations
Calculated with computations
In oppressive condemnation
We are instead what we live in celebration,
Give our dedication
Without hesitation
What would we be without our aspirations,
Our admirations
And human sensations?
Instutitions all over the nation
Offer registration
For your consideration
These places commit a huge violation
This commodification
Of our education
Don't be fooled by this hidden corporation
In the resignation
Of your contemplation.
Aren't you tired of all the exploitation
Of your desperation
For affirmation?
Maybe what they call "graduation"
Could be our liberation
From their limitations?
It is time for a confrontation
After this procrastination
Let's see some restoration
We've been trapped too long in mental deprivation
Due to the domination
Of our exploration
We should make a declaration
For the advocation
Of real education
Don't need these demonstrations
And confiscations
Of our imaginations
We should have the power to moderate
The things on which we concentrate
And not what these schools dictate
It's our turn to choose our destinations
Let's shape our educations
With adoration
We all have an obligation
To forget occupation
And think of transformation
Into the best population
For this generation's
Continuation
