School

The room is full.

Packed with soulless voices trying to get it right.

The ones in the corners sit in silence to not participate.

Until their higher power strikes a frightful fist.

"Answer to me this question you fool!" It said with a booming voice. The shadows, they trembled and fell on the floor.

The howls and hooters of the other bright, confident souls bounced off the walls and tore down the floors.

Together we come, together we fall some used to say

Until our humble behavior began to change...

In dreaded incantations and bright darkness...

There's a cipher of truth waiting to be open.

The lying scoundrels...

Replacing faces with screens.

Saying, begging, swearing for their life

Craving attention; begging for it.

With a bright flash, the life is gone

Wasted, dissipated, pointless...

Inhuman.
