After rolling the previous chain of verse, my poem took a different path and I followed, of course. What with the recent high-school drama my teenager has been witnessing at school, I suppose, the following simply came natural.
Unrestricted Verse of Today and Tomorrow
Gossip abundant
Idleness unbound
Check your own wonders –
can’t see them around.
Wonders will wander
with nothing to stop them.
So, bullies will ponder
whether to curb them.
Bullies, not heroes –
the children today.
We step aside, crushed.
Shall we watch or run away?
