Education Education Education
My mam she fought against her fate
When her period was six months late
Her parents showed her out of the gate
Though inside her there wasn’t hate
She then survived upon her wits
Single parent on benefits
Excluded due to politics
To school I went, a quiet student
Bullies watched my every movement
Without future no investment
We were betrayed by Government
Grew up awares stayed on my wits
Learnt the nightmares avoided hits
Others in prayers reduced to bits
The teachers thought, the school was hell
When truth dawned, from heaven they fell
Between silence, they’d loudly yell
Whilst willing for the school’s end bell
Live without hope is what I learnt
Only through fear is respect earnt
Lost childhood dreams my future burnt
