Reality Of Schooling

In order to succeed
You’re going to need
To follow a few rules
While you’re here at school

Be there at 8:30 sharp
Six hours of learning
Then study until dark
School is really hard

Uniform in pristine condition
Misconduct is forbidden
This is the life you’re living
For the opportunities you’re given

Sit still for an hour
This is for your future
Pay attention and devour
Yet your mental health is butchered
