Consequences
April 12, 2013
Scurrying down the halls
plummeting down flat on your face
rules are not standards
fun to play just normal school day nothing much to say
Teachers shrieking
“Don’t run with scissors down the hallway”
1 o’clock 2o’clock 3o’clock 4
Ground trembling and rumbling against
the wrath of the little children’s
feet at recess
A dilemma of life or death
nightmares come alive, and bead of sweat
rolling down the wrinkled faces
But wait?
This is nothing more than just
a normal school day
The bell rings, the day stops
the kids are gone
but not for long…..
