Journal 13 | Funding, Control, & Reform | Wendy Wu

I sit here,
crowded classroom,
as if
the walls
close in on me,
absorbing each breath that I take,
leaving me empty,
empty of knowledge.

Books,
cry in the corner,
untouched,
pages dangling from the edge,
damaged from
colliding with walls,
rather than
soaking
children with knowledge.

Desks,
scream of pain,
left a
welcoming, warehouse home
of appreciation
for a
mad scientist experiment,
to be scraped,
scarred with the
sharpness of knives.

I sit here,
in this crowded classroom,
with a thirst for knowledge,
but this thirst
is not quenched,
I ask for
new
books
desks
an education
so
please
abolish proposition 13.
