gum wrapper halls and discipline-poster walls were walked out of today
left to absorb silence
while voices against violence raised and moved through our city’s, county’s, state’s, country’s vibrating lit fuse walkways, ready to go-off with their genuine refuse to let their school mates fall around them
signs pulsated on the horizon while chants shook somber souls staking their claim that they figured out this rotating shell game of policy, politics, and the plague of platitude payoffs pushing an agenda leaving them to take to streets, ending in a square where their puzzle-piece youth-fucked facades came together to form a whole
inspired
classrooms filled with one piece desks
uncomfortable at best
couldn’t contain our kids
when enough is enough
they taught today’s lesson
target hit
i took notes as they cast a breath of inspiration into a nation drowned in denial
listen
