School Is Prison
Four walls that hold us in,
teachers are guards;
won't let us have no freedom,
askin' permission before goin' some place,
can't leave 'til the bell has rang.
For fourteen years,
held as prisoner,
since the age of four.
wakin' up early at the crack of dawn,
to sit and be tortured all day long.
The food they serve,
is plastic and rubber,
the same exact things all week long.
I forgot about this poem. It was a creative writing assignment in my senior year of high school almost 2 years ago. I know there's hillbilly talk in there but my teacher wanted us to use diction :D

good. good. i can't see it going in a book though for some reason, unless it's kind of a themed book with similar pieces in it. well, of course you wouldn't market it to adults who might feel similarly about their jobs, unless it was clear that it was all supposed to be from the student's perspective.
