They'Ll Never Know

At the bus stop the other say brazen remarks terrible things,from outside their hearts The boy hangs his head,day's a bad start As the little boy walks into the classroom they call him dumb, stupid and a goon the other kids point and laugh at him they’ll never know how his life is so dim In holy shoes he treads on the wet sidewalks coat undersized and soaked are his socks Greasy and pimply peers eye him like hawks saying the next insult in their little talks Father returns home and now things are worse This boy -these children they live with a curse Dad punches, kicks and beats them bare and from behind mother’s eyes do stare His brothers tease him he is a dud This boy is hated by his family, his blood So he decides he can’t handle anymore He grasps his Fathers shotgun lying on the floor
