CRUELTY By ... Steve Lucky Some kids gathered together around one of my classmates. I wondered why they did such things. Past experience taught me to avoid that group And all of the trouble it brings. This time conflict could not be avoided. Neither side was going to stop. Despite her persistance, there was little chance My classmate could come out on top. One on one against any of them Would be considered quite a battle, But fighting the group as a whole Could make even the toughest classmates rattle. Failed attempts for peace occurred multiple times. Rarely would they listen to reason. Everyone in the class feared them. Great damage they did to every person every season, Yet she was willing to stand her ground So I would do the same. After all I was their original victim. It was time someone put an end to their game. Copyright 2003, Steve Lucky
