Zero Tolerance

A victim of bullying, finally standing tall

Swings their fist, ending their thrall.

But how can it be,

that the schools only see

Two numbers in the system,

and can only list them

for their transgression

when just that advocates repression?

One side may have started it,

but do you know the other side of it?

One for offense

one for defense,

but couldn't both be for the latter?

But it wouldn't matter,

because of the Zero Tolerance Policy,

which is hardly a democracy.
