A victim of horrid slander ,
A victim of playground banter.
Of a choice he did not make,
and a path he didn’t wish to take.
The name by which he is called,
left him, when he found out, appalled .
The bullies teased him at school,
all coz his name wasn’t “cool”.
He started learning real hard,
then he told all the bullies in the yard.
“One day I’ll live better than you,
and you’ll be dumbstruck as what to do”
But for today I live with this,
so please refrain from taking the p!ss.
