More shit. Woo. Yay.

Bent double, with schoolbags weighing a ton
Eyelids droop down.
Brains click and whirr as though gears
Mechanical arms reach and grab paper.

A test! A test!-- A sudden exclamation.
Twilight before figures trudge home
Projects to hand up
Tests to study for

Pens out! Start time to stop: 30 minutes.
Feverish they write, aware of Time's passage
The bell rings. Everyone starts.
Stop writing! Out! Don't cheat!
The innocent boy has wide open eyes.

Exams over. The happiness brims over and becomes noise.
Talk over online games and gadgets.
They rejoice.

The day of relevation.
Hearts beat faster than usual.
Most are sad and bash the wall; some gloat.
Swears to study hard. Explanations.

Holidays begin. All sleep; all drunk with fatigue.
Meetings with girlfriends. Dumps. More swearing.
Fun at beaches. Overnight at houses.

A new term starts. Everything repeats.
Such is life.
