We are robots.
We memorize words with no meaning.
We speak in only terms
While they teach in tongues
And we recite in monotone.

When to put our educations to use?
When to test our abilities
If not on paper?
A student is a computer
And a wrong answer's just a glitch.

I realized while studying for my quarterly that I don't have a flippin' idea what I'm memorizing and that if I had to apply it to real life I wouldn't have been able to. I had nothing else to do but write about it.
