And no, there’s still NOT a “fieldtrip” scheduled, to visit a penitentiary today!!!
Walking through these steel gates, we get scanned, it’s hard, to imagine, that before all of this (moments leading up to this one???), we didn’t have these fears.
Walking through these steel gates, we’re all told, to GET an education, and, we stood in, single-filed lines, waiting, to enter into this “great hall” of knowledge, and then, we’d all heard, that raucous outside the class, and, our faces started, losing color, and, one by one, we all, fell to the ground, then, we’d heard, someone screaming: NO! We see the teachers, using their BODIES, blocking those BULLETS that went FLYING everywhere.
Walking through these steel gates, nobody’d expected this to be our very LAST day on this GOD damn planet, but, come three o’clock, NONE of us who walked in earlier during the day, walked out alive, on our own, we all got carried out, on stretchers, OR, body BAGS………
Walking through these steel gates, I’d turned around, ONE last time, but, it wouldn’t BE the very FINAL and LAST time at all, because, being BORN as I was, I’m bound, to offend, REPEATEDLY, because I had NO good parents to model after, and, I got lost in the shuffles of schooling, NOBODY EVER gave a FUCKING damn ‘bout me, well, got THEIR attention now, didn’t I? I may BE a NOBODY at all, but, I’m WELL-KNOWN to all now!
