Feet squeak through the halls,
Burning rubber fills the air.
Backpacks shaking up and down,
Chitter chatter by the lockers.

Pencils scratching – getting homework done
Class by class
All by memory
Each day – everyday
Everyone like an ant in a colony

All by design,
Every day by plan,
Do not stray,
You must obey.

No hats – no way
At least that’s what they say
Stuck in a prison of our own thoughts
No escape – no way out
Until we break free and graduate
