I wish I was a Poet, but my tools are far and few, if you could just read them, you would know its true.

We all pay for dumbing down educational standards all around from thriving metropolis to sleepy small town Incompetency reigns throughout customer service Doctors' inaccurate diagnoses make patients nervous Corporation mission statements, worthless lip service It starts in the classroom, where teachers won't demand if you want to say something, first raise your hand Then later on, when...
