The Last Music Teacher
​
They took me from the classroom
They said I had no use
They sold off all the instruments
Finance the excuse
They threw away the music books
They trashed the music stands
The orchestras have disappeared
And so have all the bands
They stifled musicality
They smothered all the joy
Of playing music in our schools
For every girl and boy
And now they have 'retired' me
I'll write a eulogy
For all those lost musicians
And for creativity
