The following is a poem I wrote after reflection about my school. I don't think it is offensive, but let me know what you think...

Who Matters
I don’t understand it
Maybe it’s because I’m new
You keep complaining as
If this is really about you
Are you conceited or consumed
With the ideal MSIP room?
You're looking for check marks
Meanwhile your kids are checking out
When are you going to figure it out?
Am I being naïve?
Or too new, too fresh?
I’m never too proud to pay respects
And I humble myself to the death
But I look at the man in the mirror
Knowing that I can’t be in fear of
Observations and walk throughs
'Cause I walked through my kid’s lives
To find out the media ain’t lying
So I made my own MAP test
Starting now, starting here
Headed north
Towards Persevere Avenue
To make a right on Brand New Attitude
Keep straight on Never Lose
Might seem like a maze,
But I promise we’ll never lose
Sooner or later the
Yellow Brick Road turns to solid gold.
