School is
A destroyer of Souls
And a crusher of Dreams
It mutilates Homes
And wrecks Families
School should be
A place of Knowledge
And Learning
A sanctuary of Understanding
And Spirt
Instead it remains
The dark place where
Childhood creativity is stifled
And beaten back
To the dark depths of the subconscious
Where it can be accessed no more
LINE BREAK
There's a special playground in my head where the ground is soaked in red. With the parts of little children spread all around. I had eaten off their flesh and chomped on their bones. Then I scattered all their parts. They went throughout my special playground were the ground was painted red.
The parents gathered all around and looked at me with dread. They saw me as not a child but a monster. They advanced menacingly. They were intent on lynching me. Then a stranger came along and told them they had it wrong. He said I needed help and that he would take the job. My parents were disgusted so they let him take me home. The stranger had saved my life. I thanked him by eating him. The next day I came back to my playground and I spread his leftovers among the bits and pieces that once were my playmates. In my special playground in my head where the ground is bathed in red.
LINE BREAK
The girl turned to the boy and said, "Kyle, would you do me a favour? Could you just bop me on the head? Ya know, just a little tap?" The boy's, no, Kyle's, expression didn't change at all which led me to believe that this was a normal request for the girl. He conked her on the head and…
nothing happened. The girl hunched over a little, her face slackened, then she straightened up, shook her head and it was like nothing happened. At least, until she turned to Kyle, bowed deeply and said, "arigato." Kyle blinked, "well, that wasn't supposed to happen."
