Children passing judgement on one another without a clue
of the cruel, inhuman things they are doing.
Gossiping, spreading rumors, killing the small sparks of
hope in sensitive, caring beings.
Alone, they think back and tears form in their minds,
but it is much too late, because they have already thrown
their hate onto a pile of shame.
Hurting and maiming tender minds of those who don't
deserve their cruelty.

RoseAnn V. Shawiak
