"Learning-Anyone?" Edgar Silvia

What has happened to our love for learning?
Is it hidden in our binder
or was it thrown away with some of our papers
that we were suppose to keep
since the first day of school?

When we are asked to do something
We say
"Oh sorry but I'm doing my homework"
while we are actually watching TV
or just staring at our blank paper thinking about nothing
just to waste time.

What has happened to us?
When the test comes up.
We detest them so much
that everyone starts memorizing not learning, memorizing the vocabulary just to pass;
It seems we are more scared about strikes. The Big Bad Numbers than our grades.

What happened with our work ethic that
How long does this poem have to be
seems the first question to pop into everyone's mind
instead of "What is a Poem?"
when we are asked to do one.

What has happend to us?
What has happened to us?
