The Fire

Fire Destroys everything in its path And in destruction New life shines The school bell rings The children sing Classes are out It’s time to twist and shout They go about their merry ways Forgetting, forever about whose day has been gray. One stays behind For he does not shine His day has been gray He has been a part of the other kids play. One kid stepped on his hand For he got in the way of the other and his band Another destroyed his sand castle And didn’t think he was being a hassle And when the day turns to night And the kid turns out his light He looks back at his time in school And wishes he wasn’t as much as a fool Maybe then He would not be teased And people would not laugh when he sneezed For that’s all he wants Just for people not to taunt That’s it! He has had enough He’ll show the others he’s tough He gets out of bed, His face turns red He goes downstairs And ties knots in a rope in pairs He hangs the rope He only can only hope That this gets the others attention And that someone might mention To the bullies that this is for them And that they killed him He stands on a chair And puts the rope around his hair He takes one more breath And then leaps to his death Fire Destroys everything in its path And in destruction New life shines Just as that kid thought His jump taught Those bullies a lesson And now they’ve stopped messin’ With other kids For they feel like pigs Because when that kid took his jump The bullies felt a lump And turned their back on their bully manner Feeling the full effect of the fire
