This is what pisses me off

I'll never for the life of me understand how kids can be so cruel

how for some kids it is a danger to walk foot inside your own school

kids make fun of others and call them horrible names

bully them till they are almost blue in the face

and teachers just standing by watching it happen doing nothing at all

as these kids have to worry every time they turn the corner of a hall

and these kids can only take so much imagine having to go somewhere every day

only to be made fun of, be beat up, be torchured, why would they want to stay

how long will we wait to take action, what will have to happen before we interfere

how much longer will we leave these kids going to school in complete fear

how many more tears will we let these kids go home and cry

how much longer will we let them be isolated and die inside

well I don't want to wait any longer, I don't want to watch this happen anymore

these kids will never forget what we let happen to them so what are we waiting for

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I just heard that one of my friends from high school who is a junior is now being home schooled because he couldn't stay in the high school any longer because of how badly the kids were bullying him for being homosexual.  Apparently the school didn't do a damn thing to help him which doesn't suprise me.  I sit and think and wonder how kids can be so cruel.  This is something that really pisses me off and when I found out about my friend I was just so pissed off.

It is terrible how cruel children can be to other children or even any human being can be to other human beings or animals...forever kids and people have been picked on for stupid reasons...you are fat, you are skinny, you wear glasses, you have acne, you dress funny, you get my drift...there have always been bullies and always been fall guys and nerds and geeks and jerks and jocks and so many crazy categories...the smart kids, the dumb kids, the popular kids, the invisible kids, the stoners, the straight, the homosexual, whatever...too many labels in this world and too many cruel people who are too mean for words...If I could do something I would, but where do we start...it has been going on for far too long....throughout history...how do we stop this horrible pattern? If you have any ideas I will join the club to fix this if it can happen ever...I totally get what you mean and sorry this comment is so long but it is something I feel very strongly about too...your poetry pal, Pam
