Requiem for Pocahontas High School

By LaDonna Johnson Olanyk

The lights are out; the shades are drawn
The sounds of learning now are gone.

The quiet halls; no sound is heard
No whispered voices – not a word.

No ringing bells, no running feet
The building echoes with defeat.

And from the field, a ghostly cheer?
No, that we never more will hear.

Abandoned dreams, an empty shell
To PHS, we bid farewell.

True Indians can feel the pain
Only our memories remain.
