Parts To Play
Uniform organization
in a place full of squares,
each tiny classroom
an entirely different world,
only connected to another
through the students.
Each knowledgeable person
draws a line of correlation,
weaving and working the pattern
into something beautiful,
not even fully realizing
the part they play.
Solemn pleading
in the addiction
of learning no longer forced
begs for attention,
screams for useful consideration
in the minds of those who stay here.
