Brother, I saw education,
Hurrying across the subway,
Walking along the highway,
Bumping into people,
Who shoved him violently.
Brother, I saw education,
Waving frantically at people,
Who turned their heads and spit at him,
Who threw insults at him,
Who warned him to keep .
Brother, I saw education,
Shouting out at someone,
Who had tar in his ear,
Who had lead in the head,
Who hid behind nothing.
Brother, I saw education,
And he gave me a letter,
Written in red,
‘Someday, you will feel my absence’,
‘Someday, you will remember’
