thats educational

sitting in seats sweating and waiting for time to pass while dreaming of ice cream bars and social events. i don't dislike classes, i dislike teachers. my brain builds walls to block out rants of off subject teachers that facinate mediocre students with talk of puppies and new cars. i want to learn about the great men and women that walked the earth, as well as the terrible ones. i want to learn of wonderful writers and paintings in paris. i have places to go and things to do, i have no time to waste on small talk and offsubjectness.

teachers are the most assuming of any. class subjects change at the speed swallowed gum digests while kids doodle sketches of a masterpiece on thier math homework. thats education today.

the teenage brain is so under estimated and so ill advised, and i am finding it hard to continue cooperating. i think i may just snap

one day i will snap, i will stand up on my desk and say "fuck you and your kids social problems. fuck the new car you got and fuck the fact that your husband hates the dishes. fuck this goddamn textbook and fuck the corrupt news that speaks of a boy stealing a balloon in a theme park while people die in iraq because bob jones has to be a good christian and drive his oil guzzling monster truck to church on sundays and wednesdays.

we are in a prison with teachers that rape our thoughts and hold back our inspirations. how are we to cope?
