Next Stop, Freedom

Almost every  girl got off

Before the last stop

I was left alone in the bus

Before the last stop

They asked me for my id

They asked me for my clothes

I was supposed to 

Leave it all behind

Those who got off 

Had men waiting

I had none

The sentry was kind enough

To give me new clothes

Strange clothes

They hid what everyone shows

Showed what everyone hides

My hands and legs were covered

My head was in a hood

But above my knee

I was bare

above my  elbow 

I was bare

He said it was a school uniform

He said there was a lot to learn

Yes, a lot of bare facts
