The ones never forgotten

poem by: Robert Folland
Written on Feb 02, 2015

To judge a book by its cover, 
Is just a way to cover your own moral.
The ones who are judged should be proud,
You earn that right to stand out in the crowd!

To a bullies sham and sense of glory;
Their feeling of self respect,
Is nothing but a shadow, someday they will regret.

The kid in the hall or the homeless on the street,
Their fight to regain what was once taken,
Are those who fight the hardest, who never said retreat.

The addict with a need to use,
Most times than not a life they didn't choose,
It was a pain they couldn't handle from the anguish and abuse.

The ones who took their lives,
Who couldn't take the pain,
People thought their laugh’s and pleasure was a personal gain.

The cloths a person wears,
Size, creed or gender,
The home’s they are from,
Should it really matter! Their heart had always shun.

-Robert Folland

The things that human beings have to put up with, Is morally wrong! We are all supposed to be humanitarians, give back and treat one another with dignity and respect.

Thank you! I know the feeling of being bullied and see how much worse it is now than when I was a kid. Id love to see bullying abolished one day before my time, until then I just want to spread the seriousness and the consequence of judging and mistreating another human being.

Well said!

its sad that these things even happen today in society. and yes it needs to stop. but we also have to look at the people who do the bullying and wrongness, their point of views, look at where they come from, their side, not everyone knows what good is because they were born into bad, and in their case, that's whats good to them.....
J S commented:
they don't know any different
Robert Folland commented:
I agree with that to a point, but the idea of a kid being beaten in a school bathroom naked and having pictures put all over the internet? They should know different! To beat a person to death with words till they hit that clandestine corner and take them selves? They should know different! Having limbs torn and put in different corners of a park only because that a bully couldn't handle his own moral. To push a kid or any human being to death or into a place where they have to hide from a coward? I'm positive they did't just learn that! As a bullied kid once upon a time and the writer of this poem; Your barking up the wrong tree!

Those who feel humiliation is joke, and the life that they decree, Their prosperity so undisguisable, and a future of meaningless disparity, The lives they have syphoned and the prosperity they claim to have. To think it is funn... Read more
