Is It School or Jail?
Is it school or jail?
We go on shaky buses
There is work to do.
Tax money pays it
We move when the bell tells us
Visitors can come.
There is a dress code
We eat the food provided
There are drug searches.
There are lockdown drills
No leaving until released
Locked inside our rooms.
Relief when it ends
Adjusting to life at home
What is the difference?
