It seems you don't want to hear

All my problems from last year.

This ill-timed, educational waltz

Tunes up only when I'm false.

There's no reward for doing well

Gee, public school, that seems swell.

Only reprimands are handed out

In class when losers, on accident, stand out.

However you seem stupid too

When regurgitation is all you do.

How impassioned can my learning be

If no passion do your students see?

Learning would be better shared

If the instructor maybe cared.

Are you burnt out?  Tired?  Done?

Your students feel shut out, shunned.

Hypocrisy should be a crime

For wasting young minds' precious time.

I cannot fathom where I'd be

If you'd only believe in me.
