Midweek Review
Leave Them Not Behind
By Lynn Ockersz
‘Winners’ of the race for grades,
Are garlanded and praised,
And on this none can complain,
But mind O Good Sires,
Atop the education set-up,
That hundreds are the ‘Losers’,
Who by your standards,
Have failed to meet the test,
But are gravely at risk,
Of joining the swelling ranks,
Of the defeated and depressed,
And it ought to be plain to see,
That they too richly deserve,
Some inspirational guidance.
