What I would Change (Schools)

If I could change,

Reigns of hate on bones that break,

To safe craze of play, then we would all be a kid for another day.

Stones and sticks, once increments of bliss,

Are thrown in place of squeamish fists.

Now, our nation of impatience has come farther than some,

And braces on wounds will fix our smiles, better not left alone,

And here we are, at night of ignorance, or cognitive dissonance, we glow,

Because in America, in public schools, I have seen jocular blows,

Characterized as hazing, but bullies are secretive and evasive,

So, the rules needs to be more case-by-case,

Children are impressionable, (their job is school!)

Sick of the responsibility they feign, so victimizing in youth lives is what I would change
