"Who failed?", 400 hundred people ask, and argue. Just one failed. The student.

"But who failed him?", they cry! His mother? His school? His city? His society? His economy?

And all of them may have failed him.

And yet he still managed to still fail all of them back times two.

It's a shame that no one told him, and it's a shame they say it isn't his fault. But the real shame is that his is the life that's ruined now.

And so it's a shame that no one ever said: "It doesn't much matter who failed who, when you fail you."
