That shyt makes me want to cry.

dikkerson said his poem, which he wrote in April 2014, has resonated with many people.

He was inspired to pen the piece after he saw a heartbreaking scene play out in an Atlanta school.

He watched a child approach his teacher to ask for a pencil. The teacher said they’d give the student a pencil, but only if he traded in one of his shoes as collateral.

“The child took off the shoe and he had a dirty sock on and it caused the other students in the class to laugh at him,” dikkerson said. “I wrote a story about what I imagined happened prior to that moment.”

The teacher fussed because they are underfunded and the teachers spend out of pocket for most expenses. Not having a pencil means somebody gotta supply the students with the necessities.... The teacher already broke as shyt so what can you do?

How do you know the teacher is broke.... and having 150 to 200 extra pencils in your drawer ain’t breaking the bank.... Teacher should’ve just said you owe me a dime... and what the fukk does the school board’s failures have to do with a 14 year old student
