Ruby XX: Educate Me

It’s been around for decades,

People learn new things everyday

But what have you learned this week?

My 4 year old niece said when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she wanted to be Cheryl Cole.

Not like Cheryl Cole,

Since she could be whatever she put I mind to

She’d magically transform into this picture perfect person at 21.

Not realizing that the texture of her hair,

And colour of her skin not only told the story of her past,

But had a little to do with her future.

So what have u learned today?

That a pop star is back in rehab

Or that Hollywood star left his wife

Or the erratic weight chart of tv personalities.

We know more about celebrity lifestyles, than our own

When asked what’s your favorite colors

I hear its nude ‘because the lady goes gaga for it’.

We listen to Obama and Cameron

And complain about the changes

But too lazy to do anything about it

Anyway the laws won’t be in place for another 10 yrs

Just in time for Junior to suffer the brute.

‘Education isn’t everything’… I hear

The modern world needs entertainment!

A needed distraction while the government sends the country to hell

In the days of old,

The people where rightly educated by the God they worshipped

I guess it the same these days

Not much has changed

Cos I know what u worship

What we all do

What gives us comfort, assurance and encouragement by a flick

Like a shrine, it’s taken center stage in our homes

Every seat arranged strategically directly straight for daily reference

But Iet’s choose to rebel!

Against fashion, and home décor norm.

I’ll tell my kids, in times of emergency switch off the box and open the book!

Cos Obama and Cameron will lie

Your trust can not be in any one man

Or tattooed freaks, with bronze or gold teeth,

No, it won’t be better after a couple more drinks

But in the God who created man!

Let me educate you that u may live long
