True Education
What’s more important?
To teach children work skills
Or to teach them to care
To teach them to count
Or to teach them to share
To teach how to win
Or that no one really loses
How to select a career
Or wisdom to do what one chooses
How to throw a punch
Or how to roll with the punches
That you must fight for your piece of the pie
Or that God does indeed serves free lunches
How to protect yourself
Or that there’s nothing to fear
To get ahead while you’re still young
Or how to enjoy each and every year
To make sure you’ve saved enough
Or to never hesitate to share
How to build a working wardrobe
Or never judge by what someone wears
How to select the right home
Or that you should carry your home inside you
How to get your way in this world
Or that no one should be able to buy you
How to find the right one to love
Or to love all unconditionally
How to achieve your goal
Or the art of learning to “Be”
How to stay ahead
Or that no one’s actually behind
How to judge a better man from a worse
Or that eventually we all do fine
To rely on our brains and perceptions
Or how so few actually see
That you should strive to do better that I
Or that there are no “I’s” - just a “we”
