Professional Development
How can you develop
As a professional teacher
When nowhere in the conversation
Is how this affects poor children
Barely can follow directions
And you expect a lifeless machine
To give them all the answers
When none of the knowledge is real
Not applied to future human contact
Where in the contract does it say
Students become the objects of their education
Slice off top half off brain
And pour books into lovely lobotomy
So much monotony of point and click
When the point is to sit instead of take a stand
Easy to understand who sees over you
Want the easy identification
Can examine your soul with 10 True and False
Initiative to instigate fuse ignited
On hot cheeks with dynamite
About to explode all over buns
No fund you can trust
When culture becomes cookie cutter
No mention of hot peas and butter
After school conversations
About bringing yo ass straight home
So we constantly know your whereabouts
Whenever you blink there isn’t enough time
To think about brink of insanity
Tiptoeing the edge without knowledge
Of gravity forces conspiring to bring
You down to uncomfortable concrete
Cemetery stellar highlights
As a dropout who denies personal responsibility
Blaming a victim
In foggy mirrors copywritten
Impersonation of teacher facilitating
Learning in digital age with unlimited divide
How can we rebuild the chasm
Zenith to abyss plummet to summit
Vomit your textbook raps
With plagiarized facts
Never got a chance
To check the sources with credible elders
Whose pores breathe freedom
Brilliant mysteries
Kept as dusty histories
Recognize your privilege
To ever ask Why?
On a quest for truth
Please don’t disrespect
My intelligence
Or try to spit in my 3rd eye
