the quiet game

the classroom used to have many children chattering away

telling random stories and laughing at every little thing

but everything changes when the adults come in

they sit in silence

no one talks and no one moves unless told to

but that doesn't stop the adults from doing nothing

everyday it's the same

the children wait for the adults to call out for one student, they wait for the student to come back

but they never return

sometimes when they're really quiet, they can hear the cry of the students who disappeared

they say you can still hear the cries from the abandoned school across the streets

sometimes you can hear laughter or the loud clanks of heels on the wooden flooring

but one thing never changes

the facts that many children here, could never go home
