I Want To Go To School

I want to go to school Where papers draw lines on the sky; Where we see our future backoning at us. I want to learn how to steal with the biro I want to reveil the hidden lines on the sky; To reveal the sky' dirtiness to the world. I want to go to school without a book, I want to join those barking farmers; Those farmers without holes and knives yet; they go to farm. I want to sit among those seated with the moon; Watch those that fly in the sky without wings, I want to go and learn how to wet graves with tears. I want to steal and speak corruption, Hold Bible on my left hand and, gun On my right with ease and confidence. I want learn to write lines that break ribs, To baptise many with words that change; I want to go to school to learn change. I want to learn how to cry under the water, Learn if fishes ever get thirsty of water; I want to know why birds don't fall off trees when they sleep. I want to go to school and learn why building is called building when it is already built; Why they say dogs food is new and improved, when no one tastes it. I want to know why and why and Why pizza is round and comes in a square box; Why doesn't glue stick to its bottle, And why money does not grow on a tree but banks have branches. I want to go to school and learn why I'm me, And me and I never agree together when in trouble; I want to learn why lizard has no hair and why The sky is white without lines drawn on it.
