40 % of the children from this neighborhood in the south bronx did not complete high school last year. At the graduation ceremony the superintendent made the statement that this was an accomplishment ! because it had been worst before.
Is your phone full of failing schools
In a place that isn’t totally full of fools
Its because we don’t have the right tools
We’ve been failed by a nation
This is why a lot of us end up on probation
And not been given the inspiration
And having a feeling of institutionalisation
Is your phone full of non-white people?
Trying, and failing to climb the steeple
All of us were born to families who are poor
Some people are here to escape a war
Having to struggle and strife
For the promise of a better life
But found little change
Still to stay safe they carry a knife
Still in range
Of one mans gun
Luv Muriz
