Do Your Best
on every test
whether written
or observed
the mantra is
for pupils who live
in uncertain times
PROOF! politicians cry
but do not comply
with their own demands
RIGOR! they scream
in ways more extreme
as they issue commands
JUDGE! and they make
excuses for eating their cake
while the children cry
from hunger
from fear
for love of learning
is the most important part
of an education
and this
is the missing content
