The Animal Kingdom of School

here in the animal kingdom of school
where kids rule the halls
and the smaller, weaker kids get shuned
here in the animal kingdom of school
everyone preys on the smaller one
where food is more important than literature
here in the animal kingdom
where the anoeying teens scream and roar
where the weak get picked out 
here in the animal kingdom

We just had a community forum focusing on bullying, sponsored by our congresswoman. This brought to mind the terrible conundrum that's going on in our society; such unchecked meaness. Thank you for your thought provoking verse.
