ignorance in education


What is it that gives you the right to think you are better than everyone else?
Is it your exclusive education that is apparently so much more detailed and thorough then mine?
Is it that you wear 'mature' clothing, that despite it's 'creative lacking' is sophisticated and says you mean business?
Maybe it's that you've been here longer, therefore have rights to the school stomping ground.
Or that you earn more money and have a lovely home, compared to my flat share and economic suffering.

Regardless, it gives you no right to look at me with disgust the way you do;
like I'm an embarrassment for simply existing.
It doesn't excuse the way you ignore me in the corridor or the stairs,
yet talk to me when it's convenient for you.
It certainly doesn't give you the right to walk around with your head held high so far above and more important then your colleagues or friends.

I don't let your attitude get to me all the time, but after a year and a half...
you'd thing you could at least pretend to know my name or of equal importance to you.
Your education may have taught you one thing;
ignorance and snobbery -
well done.
It's bound to get you far.
