She came home Still in her school outfits She hugged me tight With tears rolling down her eyes She was filled with fright 'it happened so fast, ' This is all i have' She mumbled as she cried Apparently there had been a strike Students burnt down the dormitories And refused to attend class The teachers to afraid Were out of sight The police had to intervene Causing a clash With rubber bullets, mallets And tear gas The police squashed and beat The students hard With stones, sticks and any tangible object that could be held The students retaliated Just to **** off the armed blue men Thumping of boots Shouting and screams Bullets fling There was circus in school The students were sent home Suppressed without giving Them a chance to talk A conflict resolved With no interest in the Root cause Two nights are long Another school catches Fire The dormitories are down Then you'll here them ask Where have we gone wrong?

Where did we go wrong?
She came home Still in her school outfits She hugged me tight With tears rolling down her eyes She was filled with fright 'it happened so fast, ' This is all i have' She mumbled as she cried Apparently there had been a strike Students burnt down the dormitories And refused to attend class The teachers to afraid Were out of sight The police had to intervene Causing a clash With rubber bullets, mallets And tear gas The police squashed and beat The students hard With stones, sticks and any tangible object that could be held The students retaliated Just to **** off the armed blue men Thumping of boots Shouting and screams Bullets fling There was circus in school The students were sent home Suppressed without giving Them a chance to talk A conflict resolved With no interest in the Root cause Two nights are long Another school catches Fire The dormitories are down Then you'll here them ask Where have we gone wrong?
