He's a Fool
Location
He’s a fool
Don’t you know?
Walkin’ around school
In all black
With a ripped up and ragged sack
He walks into school
Sick to his stomach
Mr. Jock laughs in his face
And calls him retarded
He tries to say stop
And opens his mouth
But all that comes out
Is a s-s-s-
He’s a fool
Don’t you know?
Walkin’ around school
He stutters
Different from the others
Lunchtime comes around
Everyone gives him looks
Some whisper “freak”
While others just snicker
He tries to find a spot
He just wants to enjoy his lunch
He runs to the safest place he knows
Into the janitors closet he goes
He’s a fool
Don’t you know?
Walkin’ around school
a scowl on his face
Never happy to be in this place
Quickly he walks home
Avoiding anyone in the streets
Trying to hide his tears
And ugly face
He sits down and writes a letter
To his ma, pa, and brother
He takes the rope and ties a knot
In goes his head, it’s better than a shot
He’s a fool
Don’t you know?
No longer does he walk around school
His fellow classmates have painted sad faces
If only God had answered his graces
