From Sonnet to School

Jason Charters

Science and equations, math formulas; 25-minute break, a lunch that lacks; And all of the ‘cool’ guys, the believers That school should be shorter, so they get back To playing Fortnite, and insulting school, Not bothering about all that homework, Another excuse, they still think they’re cool. To avoid work, in corridors, they lurk.

After the weekend, the dread starts again. They’ll feel the consequences, two hours; A snitch in the class, then what do they gain? They haven’t done their work, teachers’ powers… But all this for me, is very different; For me it’s heaven, it’s just excellent.
