Is this it?
What we struggled for with all might.
Something that we didn't cease and desist.  
Cos of it, we couldn't shine so bright.
With the view that after attainment, we'll be bright like light.
To everyone, we're like a god. A new pride we couldn't resist.
Even though the strike caused a lot of doubt.
Months after friends were in, we were told to chill out.
We were finally in, we laughed last.
With shoulders so high, you would think we were louts.
At any attempt, they didn't fail to bluff. "We're the best."
Overcrowded classes: one of the challenges, we thought.
Challenges turned suffering. We couldn't bleat.
We were made to believe that to be successful, you gotta wilt.
Writing exams without water and light, schooling or imprisoning?
We struggled to come to higher institutons.
Just to get suspended for thinking.
Get arrained for fighting against oppression.
Get nabbed for freedom of speech.
Is this what we waited and struggled to get?
We read extensively but get grades according to mood.
You will get out and still not get job even if you're good.
Buddies, everything was a crook.
This is scamming at its best.
