Amiable Academy
Early rise, sonorous sleep, ceaseless schedule, yellow uniform
I bundle my books, handle my hair and sprint to school
To learn motivating material from a peerless physical platform
In caring classrooms with a practical portfolio pool
Nibbling notes, listening to limpid lessons, factorizing facts
To test my time, hone my hands, tenderize my tactics and train
My amygdala, my bludgeoned books with drastic drama acts
That earn celebrated certificates and fit folks on an employment train.
Mathematics, Physics, History and Literature light up curricular
Activities that stretch me, strain me but complement
Scrabble, swimming, chess and rich extra curricular
Activities to build my body and furnish my fitness supplement.
Suspensions, expulsions, detentions, gating and homework
They oppress and alter my sensitive, introspective nature
Although they socialize me and sanitize me for the world of work
Where a billion babes compete daily for a fickle future.
Team teachers, honest house parents, cool catering staff
They mould me. They plane my precocious personality
To awaken my pensive potential minus my baggage of chaff
Which will otherwise assassinate my ability and credibility.
