Race.Religeon.Politics.Poverty.Education.Status.Responsibility.

A situation, that affects the heart,
Marks some education as undefined,
While others' education is designed
To be considered as state of the art.
And, it is not just about being smart,
But about the powerful who "resign."
Those who are unwilling to press rewind,
Thus giving education a fresh start.
Those who receive the very best learning,
Have an opportunity to do well,
While those students who do not, keep turning
Into adults, who continue to fail.
This, too, is a division of earnings.
A division that is not hard to tell.
