SChool
Ayanda Msikinya 2004 (Johannesburg)
Long ratchet corridors
That act sophisticated periodically
That dance to the tune of mediocrity
In a fast pace to chase similarity
That kills individuality
Classism determined by those
Who have the mentality
To gradually increase their capacity
To obtain what society holds as a normality
Which is a paper that is nothing just
But without one becomes an outcast
Fields break dance to a relaxing hum
While occupants bake under the sun
Other run, apparently having fun
When it's all said and done
Hour 6 or 7 some get the
joy of going to heaven
