Why is this the path, to choose

Why is this the path, to choose

     Between English or math

When one could be doing, something

     Other than this petty schooling

Fate may make the final choices, yet

     We still have our changing voices

The idea here is quite clear, it is

     To end the turning of the gear

The machine has to stop, it is

     Going to go kerplop

A change of settings is the key,

     For all the parts to run in harmony
