Degree Or To Disagree

Why is there so much emphasis put onto education, Is it true that its the only solid foundation, Or does it just attract negative frustration, So many questions and excessive pressure, What happened to the days filled with pleasure, You are told to seek knowledge to excell, Improve your learning and get a degree as well, To fail is like dropping a massive bombshell, The assumption that everyone must go to college or to uni, To access a better future is quite gloomy, We become disconnected and loose our compassionate veil, Everyone wanting to succeed is also wanting others to fail, To gain a stable and well paid job with all its wealth, We must loose our moral habits to welcome in, ill health, Forcing a child to receive Adult ideas, Compelled to devour grown up verbal diarrheas, Instead of accepting each others strengths and take into consideration a child's wishes, We loose our minds and our souls become suspicious, Beliefs and values are good for the heart, So no one can dictate to you, that you are not SMART.
