This Is War

This is my testament to future students who have fallen victim to the hierarchical system called: school,

Where teachers are praised for sitting behind a desk,

Where students are ignored because of their lack of wisdom,

Mark this day in your calendar,

Today, is the day when we are allowed to retaliate against our teacher,

This is the day when we as “children” take back our first amendment,

See, Mr. Warden, I did learn something from your bullshit U.S. History class,

Pardon my French, but “C’EST LA GUERRE”,

This poem will take back my country from your tyranny,

Free my people from oppression,

Secede itself from conservative ties,

This, Mr. Warden, is my emancipation from your bullshit U.S. History class.
