"Educate Means"

the ‘ability’ to run….
Someone
step up
to see
this
is what’s missing
in a system insisting
the youth are resisting

“it’s all wrong”
is all I can say
“so look!”
educators
decision maker
business creators
“and see” the motion
in the bodies yearning
energy flowing to show
of what’s needed gone
for so long in the hearts
of our young beating
their feet leaping
reaching…
to be strong

so what’s really ‘wrong’?

OUR
budgets
over blown
attentions forgotten
where a love had grown
these the product of an ‘us’
when dreams to be sewn
were to send them along
fully prepared to move
the ‘US’ on

“the indifference now”
is maddening as
sickening is to sad
pills at age three
attempting
to temper
what’s
free

“WAKE THE ;b LEEP UP”
and fix the god damn schools
put the physical education BACK
AS a classroom and fill them in song
a study of music to heal their wounds

" look and see "
what body has
for capability

and don’t
cheat your kids
from who they can be

" let them run "

    for growing strong minds

    very powerful piece Izzy. let them run…yes please.

  • it’s despicable that we would drug our children before we’d simply let them breathe, allow them their natural ability to coordinate and expand their minds, it’s despicable too that a revamp to our education system isn’t the most important thing on the voters menu and it’s despicable that after all these failing years, this isn’t the ONLY issue on the forwarding tickets.
    Those fully capable and able ‘adults’ should shut the whole freakin’ system down if all we’re doing for our kids is stuffing them in front of violent TV, games and stuffing them with nasty thoughtless and worthless MiniMcMeals and if our ‘leadership’ is so flawed that they don’t put a stop to it then all I can do is glare directly at the parentships…. seriously, if you put your kid on a hard core medication to temper their ‘hyper activity’ before you try to simply let them “not be fat and french fry infested” then you don’t deserve a god damn vote either and I get two of them.

    IZZy after reading your response I have to say. I love you. you are so right on about all of this

  • the medical systems too, you get ZERO insurance money, state money, federal money and ZERO of my supporting money if you issue pills for symptoms without cures along with them…. nutrition is one cure and a simple savings would be a dialog of truth…. “I’m sorry Mr. Large” you do have high blood pressure and cholesterol and yes, indeed if you don’t do something about it you will eventually die or live less a quality of life, but unfortunate as it is, the ‘system’ takes my doctor’s certificate away if I don’t make you try to eat better and exercise first before I give you this pursescription …. coupons for running shoes are supplied in the main lobby of the office, convenient for the smokers too …. oh and also, breaking bad news as it is, your 7 year old will have to simply lose weight too because if I as a doctor, give your KID this drug before I research what’s wrong with YOU for asking me to do so, I go to jail for the child abuse I’m helping you commit" … this is reasonable and I’d vote for it… cowards as they are tho, undeserving of the smallest motion of my finger even…. currently anyway

    so true. doctors get a percentage of every drug the perscribe. I have high cholesterole and my doctor wanted to put me on lipitor. I said I wanted something natureal as I don’t do pills. He told me to take red yeast rice and each 7 walnuts a day and stay away from dairy as much as I can. told me excersise would also help. I keep this doctor as he works with people. However if you don’t ask for alternatives then I am sure he will make his percentage. I like the way you think Izzy

  • my whole body wants to do Parkour… I wonder if they make classes for ‘ol gals ’my age’ lol. ;) I can swim
