rules


this school has rules

rules nobody follows

this class has rules

rules nobody follows

the school says “no drugs”
everybody brings drugs

this class says “no phones”

everyone brings phones

the school says have respect

nobody has respect

the class says be kind

nobody is kind

the school does not enforce the rules

nobody follows them anyway

the class does not enforce the rules

nobody follows them anyway

nothing will ever change

because nobody puts in effort
