The floor is falling - poverty and education

Education Gap Grows Between Rich and Poor, Studies Show - NYTimes.com: "A study by Sabino Kornrich, a researcher at the Center for Advanced Studies at the Juan March Institute in Madrid, and Frank F. Furstenberg, scheduled to appear in the journal Demography this year, found that in 1972, Americans at the upper end of the income spectrum were spending five times as much per child as low-income families. By 2007 that gap had grown to nine to one; spending by upper-income families more than doubled, while spending by low-income families grew by 20 percent."

The floor is falling and the rich seem to care less
Which means the eight times that they spend to advantage their kids
Is not producing much enlightenment
But why blame them they have their own problem
Prepping kids for gated callous life
And cynicism to protect receding sensitivuty
As warming further dims the firmament
