changes(not the tupac song)


 

Why are some of the things the way they are

Why do some kids have to live till the age ten

I knew this kid named Ben

He had a disease where he was bound to a chair

 

That disease was pretty rare

Ben is eight years old he has already exceeded expectations of how long he will live

I just wish that he had more time to thrive

His father was so depressed

 

his feelings often were kept repressed

But at times, he came out in a pit of rage

Leaving Ben suffering for days

And whenever Ben went to school he was bullied

They always told him that he wouldn’t be “coolie”

 

Then after that day those boys except for one will go home

One of those kids were named Jerome

he didn’t live in a home

His father had to support him through selling drugs

 

Jerome really wanted a pug

But instead he got a home

With a better father and a mother

But Boy did he miss his old father

 

Ben was coming back from school

He just wanted to always be cool

He was always tired of being bound to a chair

He really thought that it wasn’t fair

 

All he wanted was just a friend for his birthday

Then Jerome went to his house on thursday

Jerome has apologized to Ben for bullying him

Ben finally had a partner for gym

 

But Ben still has a problem his dad

He just wanted to start living with his mom

So he went to court with Jerome

They finally both got a new home

Went to a better school

Where everyone thought that they were both cool

 

There are many things that these boys will change

Like for Ben the fact that he wasn’t coolie

Poor boy he was always bullied

And that kid Jerome

All he wanted was a better father

But instead lived with Ben’s mother

And Ben finally got a partner in crime

I hope you liked my rhymes
