False Education

poem by: Shane Smith
Written on Oct 28, 2016

Todays teachers have an infatuation
With teaching students a false education,
They say you need school to have a good life
To make make money to be happy and to have a wife,
But to the teachers I dare not say
I dropped out then but I'm rich today.
