The Divide
Location
Day in and day out the children study
To become something that can make money
What they don't realize is that choice dead
They and their fate have already been wed
Today in class, you're one of many groups
Maybe you're a scholar, successful in school
If that describes you, you're one of many dukes
You'll live a life, with any luck, that is of a jewel.
But what if you didn't like the scholarly life?
What if the gleam of learning, to you, was rife?
What will the school system have for you,
the one who chose not to devour their stew?
Your life will be quite depressing and vile
What would take most minutes will take you a mile
And all of it just because you shun their drink
They take away your mind, not allowed to think
Your fate is nigh sealed by how you work in school
No matter what you do, be not a fool
Your opportunities are limitless
So long as in school you have diligence
