School Is War

School is war, 

class is a battle.

My soul roars, 

As my riffle rattles.

Fear hides in the core, 

As I begin to tattle. 

One by one stood in line, 

stood to attention

pencil made from pine

with everlasting tension

We're running out of time

scared beyond comprehension

What can I do? 

Who can I see? 

Where do I go? 

How can this be? 

Student voices grow louder

as chaos gets worse

The headaches get stronger

as life becomes a curse

Pencil marks like powder

We've become perverse

Am I lost? 

Am I blind? 

What do I do when school aint kind? 

Insults fly like bullets, 

The time like bombs, 

Teachers always shouting

When you've done nothing wrong.

What is this world? 

What is this place? 

Do I belong here? 

It's a disgrace.
