The Exam -May 05,2012

The urge  is to die and not withstandbeing 
killed
The conspiracy is to demise our 
knowledge
But I will not let it swallow me and 
I watch as the hands on the clock
Form a repeating angle and I stare

The reason is to try until ad nauseaum
I cant take it anymore!
No longer will I accept an onslaught on 
cerebro
I'll get up. Go and never stop to care
Or listen who explains or who got it right

I rise to leave and as if by force
Am subjected to sit and continue a cruelty 
To myself. I saw the year; wasted listening 
to what I call stupidity.I shall sit and 
watch
time run off the clock then leave this 
dreaded room and pray for the marker.
