School's out!
Location
"No more school!"
The children shout around me
It's summer again at home
Time for relaxing
and reading
and friends
and fun.
But not for some.
"No more school!"
I imagine them shouting at those girls.
They may never again see home.
A time for panic,
and for government action
and of loss
and fear
This is their "break".
I went to school last week,
And then I came back.
It was normal in the US.
This was a time for a deep breath,
Some news
Some reality
Some shock.
Because for some,
They went to school,
And they were rounded up like cattle
Not a normal time in Nigeria.
For what they may have to endure,
The abuse
The mistreatment
The rape
They should never have received this for wanting an education.
