He cried on the
shoulders of no one,
when he was bullied,
nobody could see
the school cameras
had blind spots
that just couldn't capture
the depths of his sheer misery.
pummeled daily
and then made fun of,
the weight that he carried
held tons of
plots to just break free
ways to bring some peace
from his torment
endured endlessly
Other kids who saw
him cowering down
beneath the bullies taunts,
would walk on by
or laugh out loud
always acting nonchalant

target
they would never dare to rat
out a bunch of punks
who'd make them pay
there was no escaping that!
Each teacher
strangely absent
cause the bullies
knew their paths,
so in-between classes
...in locker rooms
they would unleash
senseless wrath,
till it reached a point
of no return,
angst can only grow
when it simmers and burns,
till that fateful day
when victim came back
with a tool of death
in his backpack.
Why must it always
end this way,
is it insecurity,
does a bully see
himself in those
that he feels he has to beat,
and what happened to the courage
in the kinder souls who rush
past the pain of fellow students
and just head on off to class.
There's a lesson that needs learning,
James Whitcomb Riley said it best,
words I've rewritten to modern times,
for both the bullies and oppressed
but especially for the silent ones,
who ignore what's being done,
Ignorance is bliss
till it hurts someone,
bad enough to pack a gun.....
Cause..."Little Orphan Annie says,*
"Most school days make her blue
when the playground chatter sputters
and the winds they go woooo-ooooo!!
When the birdies stop their singing
and the clouds get dark and gray
then your heart it starts to flutter
and your mind screams, "RUN AWAY!!!!"
Oh, you'd better mind your parents
and your Teachers through the years
cherish all of them that love's you
and dry each loser's tears.
Always help the sad, and lonely ones
who cluster all about
else some bullied kid'll get you
if you don't watch out!!!!"
It doesn't have to end this way,
due to insecurity,
yes, a bully sees himself in those
he feels he has to beat,
let the unbeaten take courage
let the kinder souls prevail
ease the pain of fellow students
before it grows to anguished wails
