Why do we expect success from everything we try?
In a world that is so do or die
why are we always on the fly
to make another buy
that won’t make a difference in our own personal lives.
In our world that we idealize
we enroll in colleges to certify
our sense of knowledge such to dignify
personal success.
How do we justify
Ourselves when it comes to our place
in a world that puts a disgrace
to anything without a trace
of success.
Our country compares itself to others and then with an address
tells us that we are below average.
Education is slacking
because our teachers are lacking
proper education because our colleges are asking
for thousands of dollars which students are subtracting
from their income.
It puts us in debt.
We cannot afford our education loans while trying to give
an education to those
who are young
and among
the millions who look to their teachers to make a difference
and to supply the most significant
substance that makes them citizens.
Education is a birth right
that thousands of students take for granted despite
what they think.
Our privileged students complain while doing science
Because it involves too much math which they cannot do without reliance
on their calculator, which is an expensive appliance
More than half the world cannot afford.
They would rather sit and talk to their friends
About their video games and not the trends
of global economies or physical concepts like a concave lens
and mathematical odds and ends
that contribute to their video games which fill their time on the weekends.
We want students to succeed in the classroom
so, we give them work which we presume
will fill their time and consume
them in new content which leads to a boom
of learning and interest.
We want students to learn from their failures
and their reckless behavior
so, later
They will look back on their time in school
and realize what a tool
their teachers, whose only rule,
was to make sure their students used them as a stepping stool.
We blame our education system
and claim that students are a victim
to unfair tests and standards that are based on statistics
and we don’t listen
when parents come in and complain that their students has a condition
where they are restricted
and should be given wisdom
instead of putting in the work.
Why do we expect success from everything we try?
Why is our education system built on lies
and new content that students can’t apply
to their lives
which, since now, has allowed them to slide by
and find success.
We expect success
because we have never reassessed
the failure process.
Failure shows weakness
which instills a type of meekness
that leads to ultimate bleakness.
It’s an inferior feeling that makes people hide
instead of welcoming this feeling that denied
them a sense of pride
Because failure usually leads to defeat.
In a world where defeat is looked down upon
we need to find the will to carry on
or else
it will lead to our
downfall.
