We Not Real Cool
We not real cool. We
have no school. We
have time. We
Do nothing in the daytime. We
Want to learn. We
Have many concerns. We
Feel its like an assault. We
Know it’s not our fault. We
Want to take part. We
Have a heart.

This poem is a reference to another poem called "We Real Cool", by Gwendolyn Brooks. I put two ideas together; the ideas were, the complete opposite of the original poem, and putting a topic I am strong at. I recently did a speech in front of an audience about having quality education for all and showed a small general idea of what I said. The speech was on the United Nations and was the 4th goal they had which was "Quality Education". I put this idea I'm passionate about into a poem and put it into the perspective of a child that doesn't have quality education or no education at all.
