Why the Hate?
Why the hate for the freshman girl,
the new one with glasses and frizzy curls?
They ignore her bright and cheery smile
to point out her so-outdated style
They laugh, the sneer, say she'll never be loved
and leave her picked on, pushed, and shoved
Why the hate for the brilliant child
who may have a social disorder filed?
His speedy mind no doubt recieves an A
but kids call him a brain freak and stay away
He locks himself in his room, solving limiits and equations
Since he's scared to form any personal relations
Why the hate for the chubby guy
who keeps in the pantry, the only place he can hide?
His parents are fighting and tearing apart the house
so he eats to feel safe, alone, and quiet as a mouse
He knows its a problem, but he just cannot stop
and the kids on the playground call him the human mop
Why the hate for these young ones,
since wrong they have done none?
Those innocent eyes,
forced to soak up pure lies
Maybe a friend
is all it takes for an end...
Why the hate?
