Bri's Room (not done) (Free verse) by Sunshine Conkey

A little girl named Bri had an awful lot of stuff she saved and saved it but it wasn't enough. She put it in a closet and stacked it on the floor But even when her room was filled She wanted more and more. One day while playing She wanted her special pen to draw her favorite doll. But after looking everywhere, she couldn't find them at all.

Incidentally (sorry for changing the subject), you say,
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for today, and he shows up to be fed again tomorrow, resenting you because he needs you.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime, and he goes away your friend. "

Isn't this a contradiction to your claim that people shouldn't be over-educated? I want to educate all the people so that they have the tools to support themselves and their families, i.e, learn to fish. You say, "don't bother, they're not intelligent enough, and they will only harm themselves." I can't help seeing a glaring contradiction here, sorry.
