The School Bus Has Left Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Tears clothe her eyes
Pouring down her cheeks
Draining into her mouth
With their bitterness pronounced
Relaying the inner emotions
The sad feeling in her heart
Swelling up with every minute
Drowning her heart beat
In a pool of sorrow
That shimmers in the morning sun
With waves of sadness hitting her heart's shores

the school bus has left
her highway to education, the mother of hope
with its big doors of opportunities
and its fancy certificates
will pass her by
