Racism in School

"...Racism is not an assignment to do...

Racism in School

Racism is not an exam to study for
Racism is not an assignment to do
Racism in school is a serious issue
between my teachers and myself
My science teacher fears that,
I would create a bomb to destroy
the classroom, and the whole school
he intentionally fails me more than once
My English teacher fears that,
I would write a bloody story about
fighting and, hating each other's
he never reads my heart-breaking poems
My geography teacher fears that,
I would occupied a country in the map,
and create a war against the civilians
she even fears answering my questions
I learned myself that I'm just a victim
I have to fight with my broken words
my father always works like a blindfolded
slave, with sweats all over his faithful smile
