Broken Windows
Broken windows
Shatter and fall aimlessly to the ground
People mill about the fragments
Unheeding of the shards
That fall upon them
Broken windows
Cover all the new school buildings
No one seems to care or to mind
If they let in more wind
Or let the heat escape
Broken windows
Like shattered crystals catching the light
Lying forgotten upon the ground
Eventually swept into a hidden corner
To become buried and forgotten
