The little boy in school.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



I was old schooled.

I thought I was cool when I left school. I never learned the golden rule. Then I said to myself, What a fool! Why did you leave school? So I played it cool and took some of the tools I needed to survive. That is the only reason I'm still alive. I was never deprived, and I still have all my pride. When the principal walks by, I step to one side. I have nothing left hide. We smile and sin, and grin; sooner or later, we all die. I never tell a lie.
