Submerged

Playing games, climbing rocks and swimming in a pool,
All of these pleasant activities all leading back to school.
At school you learn the most useless of thing for example:
Learning latin or cursive writing, just a sample.

But once the six hours of torture is over, life is great again
And kids are happy once more, although there is a bane
Unlike vegetables and school this is much worse,
This event is so atrocious, luckily it is quite scarce.

These youthful and inexperienced kids are so innocent
None of them deserve to experience this terrible fate
All of these lives wasted, all because their parents were absent
Luring all the children in but even without a bait.

Jumping with joy into the water without any safety
Adolescents blindly walking into the end with glee
They are all submerged within the depths of the ocean
Once they are gone there is no longer any commotion.
