Monotone sound waves
Bombard the inner drum;
Idle chatter is birdsong
That lightens the mood.
Monotone sound waves
Bombard the inner drum;
Idle chatter is birdsong
That lightens the mood.
Crunch time
is back again.
Fingers rapidly tap
to get papers written.
Tempers flair as stress
takes center stage.
Relief doesn’t

Only the completion of the semester
can relieve the discomfort.
Unrest across the sea-
Culturally aware students
Spread news of crisis.
Walking past multiple times
Bombarded with cards
Polite declines; I get it!
