A School By Okoemu Barnabas Poem by Okoemu Barnabas

I know a school
Where students are more than numbers
They don't like to read,
Always bribing to pass.

I know a school,
Where students are more than the classes and seats in them,
All they do, is pack in like load

I know a school,
Where they lack facilities,
And the government is dead,
The school authority is dead.

I know a school,
Where students pays higher
And gets less than little

I know a school,
Where there is a vast area of land
Yet, no classroom constructed.

I know a school,
Where lecturers fails students because they did not buy their textbooks

I know a school,
Where students are voiceless
And the students head in the hands of the school head.

I know a school,
Where the officials are cultist
Yet, they preach against it, before the students.

I know a school,
Where snakes becomes students room mate in the hostel

I know a school,
Where library lack books and research materials

I know a school,
Where students will come to class and lecturer will not come and will never give reason or reasons.

I know a school,
Where library is cut off from school

I know a school,
Where students cannot balance time
Where hour for lecture is for fellowship
Where venue for lectures becomes fellowship's.

I know a school,
Where all you have to do is buy and buy.
Where all you do is pay and pay.

I know a school,
Who admits more than she can care for

I know a school,
Where the welfare of students is no man's business.

That school,
Somewhere in the country.
