The Transition

I may not be the most educated
Education is important
Don't get me wrong
There once was a day
People died for this right
Now with the economy
It's a struggle
One that will pay off
One day and
Allow 
Anyone to take flight
Our ancestors used to read
By candlelight
Then they were lead 
By the stars and moon
Now our focus is to raise up
Children to be productive
Who sometimes
Because of this
Evil world are taken
Much 
Too soon.
Still we
Persevere.
