A teardrop in the classroom

they sit at their desks
unable to participate
their hearts
barely beat
their hearts
hang low
their hearts
are broken
in a broken system
no one listens
no one hears
no one cares
in a place
where life
is expendable
they hold
their faces
their eyes
blindly stare
their hearts
cry out in anger
there is rage
within them
a<b> teacher </font></b>asks
who can answer
this question
she stares
out the window
she daydreams
of a blue sky
but it is
a dark and stormy day
a teardrop falls
from her eye
it trickles down
her cheek
she wipes it away
no one answers
they stare
blindly at her
they are lost
they have given up
their hope lies dormant
they wait
to meet their friends
at the corner liquor store
they file out
of the classroom
no one says a word
there is only silence
she sits at her desk
at the front
of the classroom
she hangs her head
a teardrop
falls from her eye
