"IN THE EXAMINATION HALL" BY AMEEDAT SALIS

Examination hall is a dark market

You never know until you're there

You're sarcastically blind 

To the papers, to your neighbours

Invigilators like ghost

Appearing and disappearing at will

They see but we don't and can't 

You dare don't even want to

Students dragged like criminals

To the dark room 

To have from their confessions 

That decides their freedom or detention

AMEEDAT OLANIKE SALIS

2nd edition

The poet persona leaks all the maximum seriousness found in students during examinations and how invigilators watch them closely.
