17 of 24 on the 24th February 2014: We are Alverston & Associates because of Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 - October 5, 2011).



Andrew, Mike, Jeff, Jacob, Asher
Drenched her one day with their spit
As Ann sat beside her and looked out the
School bus window.
The driver did absolutely nothing
Looking at her through the rear view mirror.
The Civil Rights Movement had expired
That day when she was soaking wet in saliva.
People sacrificed their lives for a cause
Barely aged and studied in the classrooms
With Andrew, Mike, Jeff, Jacob, Asher
And Ann as the self-professed
“Upper class” scholars
When the board recommended
Corporal punishment and
The principal brought to school a
Wooden board and instituted it.
But only the poor white students
Ever got such appointments.
