Opression

Feel like i have fallen under the devil's trap, Under opression, And my soul is chained up in manacles. Trying my best to reach to the world, But that concrete wall bounces my words back, the louder i become its like my voice is being lowered. They say they want the best, But they never assist me in achieving it, Just like that novel Animal Farm, they are Squealer and Napoleon. Only caring much about the result but not me. It feels like i am back in the Aparthied era, And like Nelson Mandela, My 12 years of learning have just become a 27 years imprisonment. I feel like i am a murdurer being questioned in the court of law, I dont know anything about being a lawer nor a police, But am forced to write reports of why i failed. Looking at their barbaric faces, i know how much they will never suport me. They call a school a place of learning, but today i saw another story in the system.
