School
Mother said school was a place
Where I would learn
She said I would grow
I would be confident
I would meet people that would care here
She said I would be safe
Teachers would protector me
They would guide me
Mother said I would be happy here
I would make friends
They will be my companions
They will not harm me
Or ridicule me nor drive to my end
Mother re-assured me
School was the place to be
She convinced me it was good for me
She said it will shape me
Make me a better man
Mother hadn't a clue
That school drove me to my end.
