Memories of My Childhood

I glance across the empty class

which once held me and my trash

that was when we had a great time

getting away with our little crimes

its hard to let these things go

they were places were each of us would glow

all the memories now are to be washed away

just because my school life swayed

all my teachers all my friends

a few enemy’s of all trends

our after school walks

along the girl school blocks

when teachers were behind our backs

for all that our assignment lacks

getting treats for every occasion

even from people whom we had no relation

when every one was my friend

giving meaning to my life’s tends

i am now to lose all my childhood

were i was part of a brotherhood

so long i say to my school

which once held this fool

my eyes filled with tears

for the place which eroded all my fears

                                                by
