Pain, a kind of demon, clinging to some of the kids.
Hunger, a kind of curse, torturing some of the children.
Feudalism, a kind of evil, controlling some lugubrious children.
The suffering, the misery, every sin we see.
The free, the equity, every filling we need.
Education, a kind of flower, beautiful, blooming out on our young hearts.
School, a kind of home, warm, protecting our children with love and pardon.
Teacher, a kind of angel, gentle, helping the puzzled child with affection.
We need love
We need power
We need authority
We need knowledge
We need education
