Sgila (School) Poem by Tebogo Angela Poen

Chewing gums, energy drinks and sunglasses
Popcorns, water bottles and books
Cigarettes, weed and smoothies
Accents and crushes
Funky clothing and funky hairstyles
Nerds, libraries and reading glasses
Highliters and dictionaries
Sportsmen and their big bags and tekkies
Comrades and votes
Mean girls, pretenders and haters
Hustlers and spoilt brats
Survivors and drop outs
Racists and groupworks
Assignments, cover pages and reference list
Printers and staplers
Ipads and headsets

that's what comes to mind when someone mentions the words 'students' and 'campus'
