Education That Matters
At the age 7, looked at school for the first time
With immense joy, curiosity asked my pappa
I would like to join the pledge as they were
Then the reply I got was a lucid silence
I urged him I want to go there right now
Then the response was, we can't afford
With struggle as government student in the past
Currently, serving the nation as a civil servant
"Poverty is the worst form of violence,"
Quoted by the father of the nation
Should I get the blame for violence I didn't commit
Does God prefer us to be Rich or Poor?
I believe that God who divide the people, like
The one who is Rich, the other who is poor,
But both poor and rich, Unified by education
So All we need is Education That Matters.
