"If i Could without penalty I would say this...Teacher your a Bully"

Today I'd like to spotlight my good friend, Marcus K. Saafir, an up-and-coming singer from Winston-Salem State University. He has a lot of talent and I expect a lot from here in the upcoming months. I will keep everyone posted on that. He gave me this poem/free write, and I had to pass it along to yall. 


READ THIS WITH A ATTITUDE and a little bit of sarcasm!!! You know what attitude im talking about too

If you ever been in the situation with a teacher where they think they have the upper hand because they are smarter than you...but its there ego talking...you can relate.. because i know i may not be the best student... but i buss my ass when it's time to do so... I wrote this in the slang of the people because sometimes full words cant express how we truly feel. .. Educational Murderer 

Why you using ya knowledge as a weapon... 
when your suppose to share the ammunition
Lookin at my teacher like dude you trippin
Tryna diminish instead of replenish... my education
Talking bout you want me to make it
Stop fakin!!!
You the reason im sitting here failing this class
while im sitting here doing this work
tryna buss my ass For my future!!
Or atleast what I have of it
I'm me, you can either hate it or love it

Yea I'm civilized but you treatin me like a savage with this knowledge thing...
A diamond in the rough tryna make it to that pretty ring
A seed tryna sprout
Looking for that water spout
But you go and cut the water off and turn the lights out
Now I can't see shit!!

Im trying to achieve the knowledge that you obtain in yo brain
Have a higher position in education and try to maintain
But it's a shame how you teach in vein
I thought the purpose was to make it out of the class
Not to be retained 
This note is for the students who actually put in hard work
And ends up getting their feelings hurt
Cuz they thought they passed that test with flying colors
Souring above the skies
But gets shot and falls to the dirt
Studying hard as hell for the teacher whose standards are to high for themselves
But they don't have to do it, so it's oh well... 
and students are SOL


Now...

We know that you know it all
And understand what you teachin
Well you think you know it all
But it's your ego that is preachin
To the students who is the choir
Tryna stay in the right key or tune
And take it a step further 
So they can expand like balloons

To end....

All I'm asking is that you lighten up on those who care about their future
And get ya head from above the clouds
Because we know you got your GED and education
But remember the time for us is right now!!
Be the reason we become what we will be...
Not the reason for having to enlist in the army..
Think about when you use to be in our position
and stop acting like you haven't ever not paid attention...

For any future teachers that I have offended, well im sorry
Just try to be the opposite
of what we sometimes see and go through...

you can be a good teacher..but you cant make us students feel small
