Teacher:
Ok class, ok everyone settle down
everyone settle down
um, as you all know we've been working
real hard on our school's essay's done
does any body have theirs to read frist
Sammie:
Mr.Evans my essay is ready
Teacher:
Ok everybody Sammie has the floor
Sammie:
When i grow up
I wonder if people will be more afaid
To cry then they are to die
Will I be able to see a rainbow
In a smog-filled sky?
Will there be any trees alive?
If not how will the plants survive?
Will the internet have a website at
www.lifetimeairsupply
When I grow up
If I got bored and had nothing to do
And me and my son built a conoe
Would water thar use to be blue
Be so pulluted it would give us the flu?
Will a thousand dollars be enough for a shoe?
Will I have to be like you?
Letting money make a decison
for everything I do?
When I grow up
Will the existence of dolphins and whales
Just be a story I tell?
Starting with Once upon a time...
Ending with Where did we fail?
Will adults be the hammer and nail?
Will Schools be next door to jail?
Will the truth be illegel to sell?
When I grown up
Will anyone be on the news
For anything besides killing?
Will those drug dealars still
Be standing in front of my building?
Will they ever learn how to love?
Or stay afraid of the feeling?
Will TV and music videos
Still raise America's childern?
When I grow up
Will innocent kids still be wrongfully touched?
Will students go home from schooll
In a bulletproff bus?
What if childern had no one to trust?
That would hurt me so much
And I wanna be happy when I grow up
