Bullying:

Breaks the spirit of the vulnerable,

As a china dish shatters when smashed against cement

Breeds insecurities, depression, sorrow

As a public restroom breeds disease

Crushes hopes, dreams, aspirations.

Like crushing grapes underfoot to make wine

Is a vehicle for cutting, depression, suicide,

As is the knife that slices the flesh of the oppressed

Transforms unique students to uniform members of a body,

As socialism removes the differences between the classes

Is a catalyst for silencing the strong, the brave,

As a gag around a prisoner's mouth

Must end.

Must be stopped.

Teachers, tune your ears to the cries of the oppressed.

Their voices call out, searching for hope, for an answer

Hear the weak, build the confidence of the vulnerable, and allow the strong to remain steadfast.

Save a life. End Bullying.
