I use words as a method to get my voice heard

Like animals in herds we need a sense of direction in this world

When I’m heard I’m understood and progress as I should

Got the knowledge of books so I’m crook because I made the class laugh?

You know what?

I’ll better the system using spoken word as a weapon

that has connections with its victims

The ears mainly of peers

They witness what others parents would fear

Simply because its real and it’s how I feel

The paper burns.
