A Person's Right

Education should be a person's right This does not come easy to those who fight For the chance to use their brain To the best of their ability It's easier to give up and live a life of futility A life never fulfilled All hope and dreams diminished Aspirations and expectations Lost, over, finished Without education, many doors are slammed shut Uneducated people get stuck in a rut Some turn to drink, others to crime and drugs Society encouraging criminals and thugs Thugs and criminals cost taxpayers money And cause unnecessary grief Compulsive education would bring harmony and relief There would be no reason, to disobey the law Opportunities would present themselves, not possible before It would give all a chance to give of their best And join the Human Race with all the rest
