The school was a haven,

if not used for the purpose intended.

Safety is more important than education,

but eventually offering safety,

is less important than throwing you through paper hoops.

Don’t they see you’re on fire?

    Safety is surely more important but we don’t seem to realize that anymore! sad

    Great poem. It hits on a topic that few schools address.

  4. I always maintained my counselor’s office as a safe haven. Many children were saved that way.
