The greatest mistake of my life- school

Like all,

I went to school;

But I’ve nothing left.

I’ve remained not greater than a fool.

The Latin grammar and annual Brazilian rainfall—

All have I memorized;

But now-nothing remains on this earth;

To show others-that could I have seized.

Over the past days,

I was thinking about the mistakes that I made;

Being unaware of the reason;

For all my dreams had fade.

Bit by bit—

Things revealed to me—

Now I could realize that the school

Was the main reason behind it.

School only teaches how to become a good servant;

With students being unaware how to earn money;

Still an increasing number are sent;

Being all this absolutely funny.

People learn through loses, through mistakes;

But punishments are given in school;

To those who commit mistakes—

This is absolutely not so cool.

Most of people, going to school;

Would be remembered;

For a decade or two,

All this, they have deserved.

Most of the “good students”;

Would be remembered;

Only because they were good persons,

But, this won’t be desired.

Perhaps, that’s the main reason;

Why people are rich or poor;

Going to school, and then, lifetime, a servant!

That’s the main fusion.

Now things would be better

And more cool—

‘Cause I’ve understood;

The greatest mistake of my life- school.
