Cliques!!!

 In the cafeteria........
you are what you eat
whether tacky or neat
you are like the friends you keep
This campus is full of cliques

"I have class at two"
"what about you?"
Ima just  stay here and chill
she got class but she sitting here still
loosing education for a man
I dont understand
but the girl in the red
have only this boy in here head.

 Girls and boys from the basketball team
This boy right here wanna make that his dream
" They look kool"
" I have no friends at school"
" wish i was like them"
"wanna join the team but when"
Poor boy from the outside looking in.

Drums sticks, mini drums and guitar
Lovers of music
that's who they are
Band dudes, Music majors
People who have a passion
And others who are just noise makers

Nice shirt,
Skirt
and stockings too
You are like this style
You are a Christian
Or you are a Jew...
Ok.... your friends dress the same
Adara? sounds like a Jewish name

"Yo son"
"Fall back son"
'let me get that son"
Do you really have to say the word "Son"
Does it tell people something about you
People dont talk like that where i come from
Boy with his tight Jeans but the pants hang low
Pull up your pants
what are you trying to show

Why is this girl here?
What the hell is she doing?
I look up and see people looking
I know they must be thinking
"This girl is mad weird"
Everyone is hanging
I just sit and stare
Finally someone from my class
Thanks for coming
so i dont look like the only ass
then i thought to myself
this might look like this is my clique
I  say all these things about these people
I wonder what they think about me?

  1. This is a wonderful people watching poem. You do an excellent job focusing on the theme of cliques, observing the different social groups on campus. I particularly like how you conclude the poem, turning the eye on yourself.
