Children

They may want to bring back,
the selective schools.
 
Simplify a complex reality, 
the underlying relationship of keenness, 
wherever it comes from.
 
Persisted,
portraying the label,
developed by power.

Uncoerced, 
questioned as viable.
  
Symptoms worsening,
getting education right for the working class.

Their children remain a challenge,
the odds are stacked against.
 
Unstilling aspiration,
strive to create opportunities,
 
The gap in monetized literacy,
bright but poor.
