Thoughtless:
Subjugate illiterate
Liberate illuminate
Knowledge is power
So why do we castrate
The world of tomorrow
Cut opportunities
With education second rate
Feeding our young colors and lies
Leaving them to grow up blind
A little sugar coating is fine
But people drowning in syrup
Isn't sublime
Filling the sippy cup
With the unhealthy grind
Obesity and ignorance
The largest social standing export
Mental illness and trauma
The largest crops raised
Time for a change
Put away the sauce
Lay away the remote
Open a book and teach
It starts at home
It's starts with you
Don't stifle the lust for knowledge
So alive in fresh youth
It falls, it's gravity not and angry oops
The rod is your guidance
Not an ass to whoop
Teach about the air and the sky
The land and sea
Love and morality
Leasons of right and wrong
Through kindness and caring
Send them to school
Talk about the world they learned
Push for better books
Updated texts and for fucksakes
Can we forget this new math index
Show your work is carry the one
Not 30 steps to show 1 x 1
Show the future
A tommorow
Worth something more
And prepare them
For a world where they have to open doors

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.
