Schools we are sent, to learn, hours spent, a price we must pay, to learn "The right ways", do unto others, as you would have them do unto you, do not fight, do not steal, keep your environs clean. That's the first step, meaningful, what's next? Words and numbers stressed to the core, you go up a next level, where they are stressed some more... combine them all and that's all you'll need, you'll be in the right direction, God speed.
As a child it seemed alright, sometimes annoying because play time gets cut, slice by slice. It's like the older you get, play time gets less, but as you grow you see logics behind the route they show. Grow some more and you see you were thinking as you were, a mere child, and everything else was simply around you in boring disguise.
So you find meaning as you proceed, and your thought process broadens like the sea, you start to see beyond the surface, and like an eagle the minor details come clearly. Conflicts start to arise, for what you've been taught doesn't match what you're seeing with your eyes. Things taught in schools, "The Golden Rules" aren't being kept, by those who have recieved a great deal of the achievements you seek, parts of the Golden Rule they preach.
The leaders, that lead, their actions deceive, or rather their words, because as they say, they do not do, for wars are flourished, to rule over things not owned, lives are taken, more, and more than before. It angers them if someone tries the same, to rule over anything in their possession of fame. They tell you smoking is bad for your health, but what of thier factories and transports? They speak on cruelty to animals, yet they kill them for sport, they teach you about sharing, yet they let so much go to waste, with knowledge of children, the next generation, having not eaten for days.
I could go on and on, but I would be wasting time, now do your part, for I have just done a part of mine. We need to behave like we are smarter than we once were, stop showing me papers, your intelligence shall spill out in the actions you show. Though I am a single man and the change is hard to come from I alone, children live what they learn, so I will be helping the generations to come for sure.
Your life is a lesson, but more so a teaching to others, so what will you teach them? Let's instill "The Golden Rules" and stop acting like educated fools.
