Education, it seems,
Is nearly as mediocre as social media,
Except it is more restrictive.
Things like cyberbullying, harassment, and fallacies are allowed in school,
Nothing is worse than a history teacher
who forgets the necessity of rebellion.
I sat in a forest of bodies,
all miming the motions of justice.
Little children in little clothes
walked into school with eyes closed
and all they ever needed to learn in Kindergarten
went in one ear and out the other.
Teachers smiled and teachers cried.
