Schools Out

by Niah Robinson aged 10

Schools are out for Covid 19
Don’t try to show me I’ve already seen
Doors are shut
Wages cut
All at home
All alone
Friends are wailing, weeping for each other
Try go see them, though you won’t wanna bother
Teachers are waiting, waiting for the sign
Waiting to get pupils back into their line
Schools are quiet, silent as a mouse
All the children back at their house
Windows are closed
Frozen in a doze
Grounds are bare
This is serious, Yeah
Children care
This isn’t fair
Out on the playground, children are scarce
Let’s get this over with, done and fast
