Author’s Remarks:
This poem has been inspired by and is also specifically dedicated to Chloe Barton: a student at Top Valley Academy that’s located in Nottingham City in the English East Midlands and also others like her across the entire United Kingdom and at all levels of tuition received by them attendant with individual study on their part, who both feel and are equally convinced in the vast majority of their cases that the entire British educational system, for what it’s truly worth that is and spanning essentially from nursery throughout primary, secondary and even upwards to tertiary studies levels and beyond, simply isn’t working for them and is routinely and categorically characterized and likewise inimically jeopardized and wilfully destroyed as well by individuals both within and who’re also entirely responsible for the said educational system but who none the less are largely unaccountable by any enshrined or even universally understood democratic criteria for that educational system, its diabolical liberties and clearly its gross racial and social inequalities.
And among these inveterate, full of themselves, highly incompetent, narcissistic, enduringly diehard and sycophantically nepotistic employees – that’s how they got their jobs in the first place and manage, despite their transparent lack of ability and multiple inadequacies, to hold on to them – and particularly ironic too as it happens, relative to the aforesaid circumstances, indisputably and disturbingly intellectually challenged morons of the likes of Sean Kelly: the sitting Principal of Top Valley Academy in Nottingham and correspondingly his like-minded cretinous teachers and administrators at that supposed educational institution who incredibly and as supposed educators nevertheless in their fervid imaginings literally assume that being white Caucasian is all that substantially and even vitally matters in the educational and purported racial superior stakes, and then in their delusional mindset rampantly transfer those loathsome and sick assumptions of theirs to all those who don’t fit their repulsive and totally unsubstantiated conclusions.
But alas they’re not alone in this and merely constitute the tip of this malevolently treacherous and out of control iceberg that menacingly and perilously lurks within the dangerous waters of the British educational system. A situation where skin colour and not personal ability – as is quite discernible to anyone with eyes to see and really wish to do so - in the individual and collectives cases of all these so-called brilliant graduates even from purported prestigious British universities that infest the British House of Commons; corporate, banking and other financial industries and, of course, major media outlets in the UK both private and state-owned like the BBC but who in actuality couldn’t plot their way, without assistance, out of a sodden paper bag if that action was even to save their fucking pathetic lives, do unwarrantedly but nevertheless continue to reign supreme!
