Left Behind | Notion

Written by Bettina T

Early this year, when the virus came

When we never knew things were gonna change

When we rejoiced for suspension of class

Not knowing it would be our last

We shifted to a new learning environment

Online distance learning as most like to call it

We thought it would be easy to work from home

Now we miss real-life classes being on our own

We are told to be thankful for still being able to learn

With the money that our parents worked hard to earn

But what happens to those who can’t study online

Who have not the money, who are left behind

What happens when we study like nothing’s changed

While others have stopped on an academic break

In our mind, we’re not them so it’s fine

But we must realize that they are being left behind
