Bothered
To those of you that do not do the work week after week
Do you not realize that you affect others by your actions ?
For life is not a free ride as you seem to think
Often success is only perhaps 5 % inspiration
Followed by 95% perspiration
That means that the more you put in
The more you get out
Grades are not the only way to mark an education
The other is the contribution to not just to class
We get out of life what we put in
Even when we might not like what is being taught
You never know you might just learn something
If you put the work in
The surprise is that often biting on the Brussel sprout of life
Is not as bad you might think
I write as a struggling student
Who tries week  after week
Often reading things that seem to have very little meaning
But at least I can place my hand up
And contribute with an open honesty
Soon you may have to go out into the world of work
You may find that no matter how cute
Or charming you might be
Others will suss you out
And when they do
Perhaps instead of complaining
Pause and reflect your own input
For by not  doing the work week after week
You affect not just your education
But mine as well
 We really do create our own reality
And as one of the polite masses
I'm tired of you affecting mine
 So to be honest if you cannot be  bothered
Then neither can I with you 
Now I have to go
As next week's reading calls
