By Zachary Mowat 

Homework here 

Homework there 

There’s Homework everywhere 

Studying every day, every night 

With no end in sight 

With all this homework  

My future isn’t bright  

Teachers always complaining  

I can’t get it right  

My bags always heavy 

I can’t remember  

The last time 

It was light  

When I don’t have homework  

It is always a delight 

But that has never happened  

In my life  

Never having time   

To get my work done on time 

It’s getting me up tight  

If the schoolwork 

 Keeps piling up  

I might just 

Hop on a flight  

But despite all of this 

I still must push through  

Because if I don’t do my homework 

I know my future also isn’t bright  

So I must continue to fight because  

In the end I know everything will be alright 

 And I will finally be able to celebrate  

And see the daylight  

And later on I will be able to put a roof 

Over my head 

And go to the park with my kids 

To go fly a kite 

Which will be 

A beautiful sight  

My smile will be bright  

But until that day 

I just gotta keep on doing my work 

So eventually I can find work  

And not turn into a twerp  

One more year left 

How much worse can it get 

I don’t have anything left 

All the stress  

Worn on me 

Like a dress  

Teachers playing with my grades 

Like a game of chess 

Will all of this just be  

One big regret  

But no, I can’t make my parents upset 

I must have success  

Otherwise, I will be oppressed  

Expectations heavier than a bench-press  

And they’ll never let me forget  

All this mess 

But I digress.
