for thirteen years i have seen this place go sour
filling my mouth with tastes of lime or lem
I walk into school every day with a glower
this is because of all of them

all the people who've come to power
the devil who smiles at you like she is a gem
and invites you to her house for happy hour
but all you want to do is cover her face with your phlegm

Then the one who decided to overpower
the one who picks the greatest teacher to condemn
in her presence the teachers cower
while the students can’t see her mayhem

This school is like a flower
being cut at the STEM
