Literature Text

From a distant land I come from,

I’m just a student living in a metal dome.

Here we get from the internet knowledge,

We don’t get it from school or college.

In this realm our only tutor,

Is a personal computer!

The education system is nothing but embarrassment,

They keep it alive thanks to lying and harassment.

Because of corruption no one learns at school,

For some people it may seem cool,

But not for the ones who want to learn,

Alas, this is the government’s least concern!

The majority of teachers here cannot teach,

The peak of knowledge we can never reach.

An excellent student I have always been,

But here in Azerbaijan it is almost a sin!

I’ve been always bullied, insulted every day,

But still I continue to live my own way!

Unprofessional teachers have always me disheartened,

My life every single day extremely hardened.

The Grim Reaper visits people here much more often,

Towards them he will never soften.

Why people here randomly die, you would ask,

Because the meds here never fulfill a simple task!

In med college there’s no proper education,

This leads to death and worldwide humiliation.

I would have protested, if I had had a voice,

Unfortunately, but being silent, I’ve no choice.

The government is a mafia clan,

To make us dumb they have an evil plan.

We cannot fight it without any unity,

We’re forgotten by the international community!

The ministry of education is an institution,

Like all has never followed our fake constitution!

Democracy and freedom that is what we’ve always wanted,

By the government we’ve been always hunted.

We just want a proper education,

We are the future of the whole nation!

How our exams we are going to pass,

If of badly written school books we have a mass?

If young men fail, they go to the military,

The conditions there are bad and unsanitary.

I’m not fit for military service at all,

If I go tomorrow, the next day I’ll fall.

The rich healthy men always evade it,

Last year the rest from the army home barely made it.

They listen to coins chiming; they don’t listen to reason,

Fools, you know this nothing but treason?

No one is willing to help us out,

No matter how loud we here shout.

There is no hope, there is only corruption,

It is an endless volcanic eruption.

Since late nineties we have lost our participation,

In the government’s creation!

We have been deceived a thousand times,

But their oppressive policy would never stop my rhymes.
We dreamed that our “republic” would be democratic,

No one has ever thought that it would be autocratic.

All who are on the top of the hill

Are cowards and robbers, that are mentally ill,

To stay in power they are ready to kill.

Curse the oil we that we can’t use,

And the one causing governmental abuse.

Our recourses turn to cash and disappear in wide pockets,

Those who demand them instead get launched rockets!

To hell they managed to turn our lives,

Those who oppose them are arrested with their children and wives.

The quality of products is lower than ever,

But the prices are high and they’ll grow forever.

Half of the foods in stores are expired,

From eating them all we are sick and tired!

We have only those rights that are abroad in prisons,

To put us to real ones they’re looking for reasons.

You doomed our future you stupid crooks,

But we cannot do anything or so it looks.

Remember there will come a day,

When you all are going to dearly pay!

This is what is going on in my country

%PoeticalCondition critique:

"curse the oil we that we" - the we is repeating.

Its a good poem, and no doubt may reflect the nature of Azerbaijan's corrupt and nepotist government arrangement as a result of which there has been a significant educational collapse. But for me, it portrays a general view of the educational collapse of Azerbaijan. You've written a long poem which does have valid points, but to strengthen this poem, you should mention the people who did help the country, or the events which lead to the collapse of the system.

Breaking it down into heading such as important dates when something nationally important happened, might help set a chronology.

Its a decent poem, even without that strengthening.
