RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: FRANCE
Student Uprising in France
The right to decent education
For both the rich and the poor
Fundamental to a civil nation
In France must be assured
The privileged have the finest schools
In France and everywhere
But in France they follow equal rules
The government must care
France must hold the light
To show the way for all
You must know it isn’t right
To hide behind your walls
Do not fight them on the streets
Listen and take heed
In the middle you must meet
You must try to meet their needs
We remember nineteen sixty-eight
A clarion call to France
Yet still the students wait
Why not give them a chance?
They are the future of the nation
Make them proud to take their place
Release them from this subjugation
They are the nation’s face
