Who Needs School? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DEC FGHA GIJK LDMN OPO

In the future fifteen years from nowA
This won't matterB
My name carved into that desk will just be a carvingC
And the pot bellied children will still be starvingC
-
We are addled with logic and equationsD
But the world and her people remain sickE
And her temperature is risingC
-
We are taught how to live how to talk when to breatheF
But we're we taught how to love how to speak how to believeG
We were taught how to cook how to clean how to sewH
But he was brought up with an arrow and a bowA
-
What is this culture we've been made to believeG
Is my name carved into that desk vandalism Oh pleaseI
You're worried about your deskJ
But you are part of the reason the worlds such a messK
-
We were taught about the dangers of pollutionL
And we had all these ideas and wonderful illusionsD
About saving the world and saving our livesM
And stopping the constant worries and criesN
-
But I was taught to love and I was taught to cryO
I was taught so express my emotions and speakP
Because if I don't we will all surely dieO
