The End?

Grade 12 students in a high school in Fuyang, China, write their English semester final.

The End?

At their desks, pen in hand, the 12s write their final
07h40, first day of exams in January
This is China you know
A strange cold classroom with desks fanned out
Some like to cooperate to graduate
Yes, teachers still call it cheating
Proctors scan the room
Heads bent low, some furtive eyes
A sigh, a moan, a smile
Winners and losers, just desserts
Two hours from now it will all be over
Except the crying
