Urban Life ... Not So Bad

 

Entering the building

through the school’s front doors

security and police

check ID’s for the students’ proper floors

 

Walking through the halls

with many different faces

stand friends united

from various ethnic races

 

Struggling to learn

through racism and discrimination

teachers try to give students

an excellent education

 

Athletes among others

Respect their school with pride

student council reps

join together and set the stride

 

Cultural backgrounds

white, black, hispanic

life at an urban high school

there’s really no need to panic
