An Evil Place

School is a terrible thing
With teachers who are duke
And a principal who is tyrant king 
But I, Sir Luke, 
Am a knave 
All other students I must save 
For the tyrant king plans to enslave 
He hides behind a smile and a firm nod
He’ll act nice for awhile, but oh god 
A beast he becomes 
Yes, a beast for answers and sums 
And of course what is a king without his knights 
Football players and the likes 
They are illiterate fools I say 
But I agree I must stay out of their way 
For if I don’t a terrible price I must pay 
And like all others, I at the end of the day
Am just waiting for the best chance to break away

Gratia, I was sitting in a class when struck with the idea to write about it, this was the result, I have read a few of your works and am glad to say that i enjoyed them greatly.
