Whites

I wake up and put on my uniform
Then I jump on the bus
?
Then I arrive at school

I walk into the giant school, all clean and new
We read from brand new text books
?
That’s how I learn

We walk into the cafeteria and have a nutritious lunch
We run into the gym and have fun at recess
?
That is my lunch time

We return to our classroom and read from the text books
We talk and play games
?
We do our homework at home

We work on the homework
We take a nice warm bath
?
That’s our school day



Blacks
I wake up and put on old passed down clothes
Then I start walking
Then I arrive at school ?

I walk into the tiny school, all dirty and brown
We try to read our old ripped text books
That’s how I learn ?

We open our lunch pails and eat our bread and milk
We run outside and play in the woods
That is my lunch time ?

We desperately try to read from the text books
We do our homework
We do chores at home ?

We clean the house
We take a cold shower
That’s our school day ?
