The Rebel Writer Comments

Oh, it's never completely hopeless, and freedom is a noble cause EVEN WHEN its pursuit is not entirely successful. Just look at the INNER freedom you have gained by writing this poem. For so many people living in tyrannical societies that's the ONLY freedom they have. And what can we really expect the U.S. public school system to be like when the model is a FACTORY turning out identical one-size-fits-all graduates like clothes? Too many people crammed into uncomfortable buildings pushed through days divided into 55 minute units - WHAT IS THERE TO LOVE IN THAT? - unless you sense the drive of education in your deepest self, your free soul! That's Y-0-U.
