Here I am, the youngest 

But smartest in my class 

Age 15 and already two-thirds  

Done with school 

People joke about me having 

No common sense 

Others like La Lune say 

I’m ignorant 

But how can that be 

With a 3.52 GPA 

 

I have learned all there 

Is to know about Earth’s 

Biology, Algebra 2H, English 2H, 

Even Architectural Drafting . . . up to the 3rd level 

People joke about me having 

No common sense 

Others like Bulan say 

I’m ignorant 

But how can that be 

With a 3.52 GPA 

 

Summer is here 

I should be loud and free 

But here I am at Upward Bound

Having Mwezi insult me 

People joke about me having 

No common sense 

Others like Mwezi say 

I’m ignorant 

But how can that be 

With a 3.52 GPA
