whirling like crazy
managers
change
rotten teenagers
stupid teachers
3000 students colleges
every child is sacred
on mtv
learning how to date
as many one night stands
in one week
as a stupid mind can stand
crash course
for mindless queens
of primitive tribes
ignorant and spoiled
acting scenes
out of soap operas
learning to divide and rule
as empty adults
play statue
in front of their holy halls
on which is written
in big letters
painted with bile
"your power is measured by the hurt you inflict"
Author notes
I was going for a nature thing but I came across this one. I see "school" every day through the eyes of my daughter of 13. First year of middle school. Conflictive to say the least. So yeh this is what I see every day exept weekends

Powerful and very relative. Each description hits hard and stays with me. I particularly love "for mindless queens / of primitive tribes."
Thanks for entering this poetic piece into my contest.
