Mr. Smith in Quicksand.

When we think about Quicksand what do we see?

A big pile of sand with some hidden entity.

At first glance it seems harmless but can be deadly as hell.

It might be shallow or as deep as a well.

You get caught in it you struggle to escape.

Superman wouldn't be able to get out even with his red cape.

Starting with that let me tell you a story.

It might be true or false that'll be up to you.

It's about a teacher who came to a school two years ago.

Who wanted to find a home and a place to go.

He interviewed and he thought it went well.

He was on fire answering questions bell to bell.

In the end he ended up not getting in.

His experience wasn't quite enough to fill the position.

Ironically the one who beat him is closer that you think.

But, when mr smith talked to the principal he seemed to form a bond.

"Our paths will cross again" was the phrase he was left with. Which seemed quite odd.

So Mr. Smith went on with his life always keeping in touch.

It seemed like this place called North Boone would be a good home.

This last year Mr. Smith heard from the principal.

"Things are happening" he said. "Want the spot?"

"Of course" Mr Smith said. He immediately dropped it like it was hot.

The talk of freshmen seminar was presented.

The principal gave Mr Smith hope that he would have a home after May.

The year started well with many new students and many stories to tell.

Everything was going well without a hitch, who knew life would serve payback like a bitch.

Things started to fall apart as hope was taken away.

The principal started to say you might not stay.

Mr. Smith didn't understand after all that was said.

Mr Smith dropped everything because he believed in the hope that was given.

But, all mr smith was doing was right.

He even got an evaluation from the principal saying he was proficient and his future was bright.

So everything he was doing was correct so why is this being taken from him?

Well quicksand is a weird thing

You can do everything right and not miss a thing

Sinking deeper and deeper struggling against yourself

At the end of the day you have to accept that even if everything you do is right you still might loose.

You just have to learn from it and keep on the move.

No one knows what's at the bottom of a quicksand pile.

Unfortunately you can't just sit down there and chill for a while.

I think that the bottom is a quicksand pile there's a mirror.

To show you how you lived your life and make it clearer.

Once you look in the glass and realize it's your last.

You see the daylight die from your eyes.

And realize in the next life what to do right.

Maybe Mr Smith will forgive the principal who did him wrong.

But, don't worry about mr smith he will find a home.

He always lands on his feet never breaking a bone.

All I can do is grind everyday to better my mind.
