My teacher is dead The crackling by the classroom walls The chalks along the hallway The faded voices of students The heroes of methodist high school Repository of rejected talents A born-throwaway Accepting history's defeat Exile Our principal's cowardice Lineage of shoes The assembly ground we all marched Uniforms of beauty Tools of knowledge An ounce of excellence The gateman's solace The vague of coerced dreams Awaiting trial Kneeling at their master Waiting to be liberated A sound of fantasy's cane There have been others Lingering in the twilight Travelling through the walls Methodist High School A home of forgotten glory Written by Tosan Oluwakemi Thompson
