There will never be a true reflection, <br />Of what can be accomplished to be achieved. <br />As long as school teachers are tampering, <br />With low test scores of slower students. <br />And those behind the scenes unseen, <br />Find ways to upgrade mediocrity all over the place... <br />With ratings to award those of so-so talents, <br />To promote their plagiaristic ways with visibility... <br />As a fudging is done to do as they please, <br />To keep hidden self doubt and other insecurities.<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-upgrade-mediocrity/
