School's in.

[Zeniro]

The school doors hang open,
There is an echo of a bell.
The nameless flood inward,
Into the gates of hell.

The walls of a prison,
The layout of a maze.
Clocks slowly ticking,
Eating the hours of the days.

Sitting at the desk,
Your forced to grind away.
A slave to the system,
Forced to obey.

Opression through violence,
Only the strong survive.
Kill or be Killed,
Fight to stay alive.

Welcome to the school,
Leave your weakness at the door.
Get ready to fight,
Come and join the war.

[Kira Karyuudo, Hikari]

I know I've not been hanging around the board for the past...oh...month (internet problems, blah blah)...

But...

But where have you been?! (Mind you, I'll probably find out in the VIP if anything, no? Haven't checked there yet, I found I had to comment here first. )

Speaking of comments, I've severely missed your poetry, Stephen. It's good to have you back, and I dare to say this poem (though perhaps not created for this purpose), sums up the board perfectly. I say it should be a theme! A theme!

^^; Yay?

[Zeniro]

Aye, i'm a real bitch for coming and going without saying anything. I've appologised for it countless times, and I do so again.

I think you all know by now though, that I'll always come back. I enjoy the place too much to leave for good.

Plus it's a place for me to get away from it all, and I need that right now.

Also the poem was written after watching a few Xin episodes.
