Who Needs School? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DEC FGHA GIJK LDMN OPOIn the future fifteen years from now | A |
This won't matter | B |
My name carved into that desk will just be a carving | C |
And the pot bellied children will still be starving | C |
- | |
We are addled with logic and equations | D |
But the world and her people remain sick | E |
And her temperature is rising | C |
- | |
We are taught how to live how to talk when to breathe | F |
But we're we taught how to love how to speak how to believe | G |
We were taught how to cook how to clean how to sew | H |
But he was brought up with an arrow and a bow | A |
- | |
What is this culture we've been made to believe | G |
Is my name carved into that desk vandalism Oh please | I |
You're worried about your desk | J |
But you are part of the reason the worlds such a mess | K |
- | |
We were taught about the dangers of pollution | L |
And we had all these ideas and wonderful illusions | D |
About saving the world and saving our lives | M |
And stopping the constant worries and cries | N |
- | |
But I was taught to love and I was taught to cry | O |
I was taught so express my emotions and speak | P |
Because if I don't we will all surely die | O |
