What's up with certain poets constantly mentioning ashtrays and cigarretes in their works? I get that it makes edgy teenagers feel "cooler", more "special" and pleased with themselves if there's a smoke mentioned in some of the verses... Perhaps you could be original instead? Insert another motif that has the same effect and is not an overused cliche? Not be like everybody who is trying to sound different than everybody else?
Besides, smoking is not healthy, kids. Go to bed. Sleep through your angst.

I'm getting sick and tired of entitled parents who beg or even pay teachers to give their children an undeserved passing grade. They are most usually people who come from richer social classes and who want to compensate for failures by taking shortcuts. I think that clearly shows the superficial mindset they have, when all they care about is the final mark, completely ignoring the purpose one should be attending school - to learn, develop work ethic, take responsibility for oneself, and gain options for the future (in this case, they already have doors open as members of influential families, in form of all sorts of connections and easier access to various workplaces, but are required to receive at least elementary education).
Not only that, but certain individuals from this group of airheads are genuinely convinced they know better than professionals who were specifically trained to teach. They are going to complain about the difficulty of material students are supposed to absorb, assignments they are receiving, and eventually begin criticizing the school system as a whole (obviously, without any actual solution to offer, as so many people do when criticizing school: they only whine), in order to cover up their own inadequacy in raising their kids.
"Just give him a D at least, it won't hurt you." "My kid is good, please let him pass." "What is your problem, treating my child like that?!" "How are they supposed to study all of that? You are insane!" "Your criteria are unrealistically high." "And you call yourself a teacher? You are being rude and disrespectful!"
Oh, please, fuck off.
This is how you make spoiled, spineless brats. And one day, they are going to become just like their fathers and mothers. More greedy slaves of their own money and reputation, without anything valuable to offer to the community.
Allow your kids to fail and taste defeat. Show them support in getting back on their feet even stronger than before. Make them overcome their laziness, stress and other obstacles with a firm but also friendly presence as a parent.

In an empty concert hall piano keys echoed through the space agile fingers were swiftly dancing with the melody a lone figure merged with the instrument and the instrument merged with him
suddenly a couple of crows stormed in through the open windows grunting and squeaking they landed on top of chairs
one of them opened its curvy beak and cawed you are playing too fast I can barely follow the notes you moron
the lone figure slowed down
another one opened its curvy beak and cawed this is more boring than getting stuck in a traffic not enough speed you moron
the lone figure sped up
yet another one opened its curvy beak and cawed i don't hear anything oh wait i forgot my ear trumpet
the lone figure played louder
and another one opened its curvy beak and cawed why are you playing only the white and straight keys you fucking racist
the lone figure accomodated for all groups
and another one opened its curvy beak and cawed are you trying to rape the keys i am going to cancel you for sexual assault
and so the bunch of birdbrains ragdolled the lone figure for as long as his fingers had fresh blood in the end he divided from the instrument and the instrument divided from him

I remember that day I saw a braindead monkey grunting through a noisy street and scratching its sweaty armpits as elegantly dressed figures were passing by with laughter
this dumb ball of hair was clinging onto the legs of strangers perhaps he was craving some company some gentle word or merely to kill boredom
the figures kept kicking him around in a cruel football match shoo shoo shoo gotta save the suit from bad smell and reputation
this dumb ball of hair still looking up them wondered why they just did not want to like him while scraching his head
this naive ball of hair never realised that the tall figures were nothing more than clean, fancy, shaven monkeys
and who knows maybe some of them were more of a braindead monkey than he will ever be

dear poets
i'm sorry to burst your bubble but i have to say it with utmost sincerity poems are not chopping sentences into endless pieces lack of structure interpunction and capital letters
which could simply be bits of a random prose a mail or a tweet written by a hairy monkey jumping and pressing random letters on the keyboard
nor are they necessarily a choice of polarising topics on which you give your takes so arrogantly dryly boringly i almost yawned myself to death bragging about your political correctness like those fatties in the government who let roots grow out of buttocks into their sofas
your sentences make the trees roll in their earthly graves for they were used to make paper on which you pour your godly inspiration but hey that's your kind of talent and even i gotta give you props for it
you so called modern poets don't know what it means to create word games imagery daydreaming melodies and let alone to have a thought that is actually your own
you who have no skills in wielding their verses write in spans of five minutes or maybe ten i don't want to overestimate you
that's why your poems are like a short script that could be composed even by a dog pooping on the asphalt
because after all this was written in a few minutes as well
