School
[50 – Breaking the Rules]
13-02-08
(For Allan, my brother)

Society has a simple rule:
While you grow-up you go to school.
When there you learn your A-B-C’s,
How to count, to write, to read.

You’re shown worlds of wonder that aren’t your own,
Taught values, morals, and how they’ve grown.
You learn the rights of your own land,
And you grow up to become a decent man.

This knowledge is here to help you grow,
‘Cos you’re only as strong as what you know.
You break our hearts when you break this rule:
So sort yourself out and go to school.

50 - Breaking the Rules
NB: As this is a repeated theme from list one the title is not the theme number but a "normal" title. This will be done from now on with repeated themes so as to not confuse myself. All new themes will only be titled with the theme number.

In fixed because it (kind-of) has a fixed rhyme scheme.

Based on true happenings.

Maybe he just needs time away...
He needs to learn who he is... before he learns of everything else in the world :hug:

The deeper the mud, the more beautiful the lotus blooms.

Grade 7 he stayed away 40% of the year but passed.
He stayed away about 90% of Grade 8 and failed.
The school wouldn't have him back the next year (who would blame them) so he then went into Grade 10 in a new school...
...he stayed away most of that year and failed too.
Now he is staying away again.

How much do you actually see, or are you just not bothered to look?

It's a wonderful poem with a good message. I hope he realizes the importance of an education soon....

He trapped the sound in a square of silence
and folded it away into nothing
