True Knowledge

 

This isn't why I came to school today.

Not to learn how to avoid the bully.

I need you to listen to what I say.

I'm going to tell you the things I see

 

I want to learn about math I don't know

and write about the things that come to mind

not about the things I have come to know

Why can't you teach me how to stop this time?

 

A better environment for the used.

For the ones that always feel so abused.

To keep the bullies away from the kids

who know just how bad this world really is.

 

There's nothing more that I'd want you to try

then to stop the kids that want to say bye

because all that I know is when they lie,

all they are doing is making us cry.
