Gabriel S. Weah Poet Free verse

I Want To Go To School

Should I be modest in society?
Should I be treated like a wreck among my friends?
When my parents are old,
Who shall be the eyes of their inheritance?

I want to go to school!
I want the world to know
There's another genius and great philosopher
Through me, the perception of corruption can change,
As through Noah, his entire household was saved.

I want to go to school!
Though my parents born me at 100° poverty,
If selling plastic, bread, or wood 
Can get me in school,
I won't mind selling to make my way through.

I want to go to school!
My present condition doesn't matter.
If I am illiterate to the world,
Don't you think I can be used,
And even sleep in tears and grieve?

I want to go to school!
My brain is not static that words can't penetrate
The day I see myself in school,
The world shall know my accuracy and ability.
