Kick the mic of perpetual algorithmic bureaucracy.

Crush the bones of corruption.

Watch the flames cremate, turning it all to ashes, swirling them into the wind of force.

Your hand does not belong so deep into the boiling pot of education.

You’re control hungry and when you don’t get your way, you clean house with the broom of gloom and upheaval.

The data and numbers are liars.

If the numbers keep lying, then so will the leaders.

These are the so-called leaders that you moved into place like a sick game of chess.

They are the same ones who are scrambling to ditch the deteriorating systemic reputation.

To our core values own shame, they are surely being flushed down the drain.
