Natural Lesson

What is the best skill you learned at school, how many of the lessons have taught you how to make your way in this world. They were not the real natrural lessons of life you were taught, they were rubbish. How many of us can really say that school was a positive experience and one that taught us how to survive on our own when it finished.

Young Man

You’re just a young man
Out on his own
Your school taught you
Nothing of this world
All those lessons and detention
Have no bearing on your survival

Now you find yourself
Without any direction
No work no money
Just time and depression
It’s a life the government
Try hard to ignore

Life’s basic skills
Are a fundamental chill
Through the classrooms of this world
But you are young
You can overcome
The lack of knowledge
We all received

I am older and so wise
You can learn from my words
Just stop and listen
Then think your plan of action
You can short cut
To a true existence

Forget the negative education
The history of the world
Concentrate on making money
Without it you will dissolve
Time you have as your friend
So make it work to your end

Life’s basic skills
Are a fundamental chill
Through the classrooms of the world
But you are young
You can overcome
The lack of knowledge
We all received

Don’t fumble forward without direction
Before you know it time has run right pass
This you can never reclaim
Make it your mission
To have your personal fame
Live a life without refrain

One more thing before you live
Don’t ever look back
You cannot remit
Accept your choices
Move on with peace
Make me happy before I leave

Life’s basic skills
Are a fundamental chill
Through the classrooms of the world
But you are young
You can overcome
The lack of knowledge
We all received

Stop this merry-go-round of stupidity, life is about making money, without it we have a society out of work and living off of handouts or crime. Change the education system and teach our young how to make money not the rubbish you presently fill their heads with, which has no bearing on life as an adult and is full of negativity.
