Title: Watching, Poem
Jan 18, 2008
Watching
The bully approaches
The little boy cowers
You Watch
He tries to run away
The bully blocks his way
You don’t do a thing
You Watch
One punch then two
It’s all up to you but…
You Watch
The teacher comes out
The bully tells her lies
You know the truth yet…
You Watch
The next day comes
It happens again
You don’t tell a soul
Not even your friend
You Watch
This occurs over again
Day after day
Finally, You turn away
