~Funeral Procession~

the subtle crackling
the overwhelming shame
a solemn line of students
marching towards the flames
they sacrifice their lives
for a chance to feel success
victims to the devil
scorched by scholasticism’s stress
forward on, march
to the beating of the heart
slash the ties of friendship
prove that you are smart
and think nothing of the
anger, the fury the disgrace
of the parent whose vicarious dreams
blow up in his face
just walk straight into the fire
forget failure and don’t cry
sometimes everything comes to nothing
your next in line- it’s time to die
