Modern Inferno: aka hell-school
Limbo
The zombie kids
who sit and wait-
do minimum work
with a quiet active hate
Lust
Those couples,
you know the ones,
holding hands, sharing tongues
everyone leaves and they’re still there
and in the morning they say:
“Oh, don’t sit in that chair”
Gluttony
The student who
crinkles wrappers, (misses the trash)
munches their lunch
all throughout class
Greed
Paperclip thieves with pencil hoards-
don’t leave your nicest pen around,
they’ll snatch it up with no remorse;
wear a jacket from lost and found
claim they bought it, swear
last name on the tag
is the exact same as theirs
Anger
Actually, these ones I can’t blame
they probably have two tests today-
a paper, a quiz, anything you could name
so really, it’s their right to rage
Heresy
The kids who challenge teachers
but only to show off
they whine about the unfair school board
and won’t admit that they slack off
Violence
The bullies,
the behind the school parking lot punchers,
people in trashcan dumpers,
the passive aggressive texters
hit now, ask questions later
Fraud
The deceitful ones,
who cheat on tests
hide their phones,
and do a fact check
Treachery
The ones here, are the worst:
blasphemous traitors-
who told your secrets without asking first
These sinners of our modern schools,
Are present day hormonal ghouls
