Tears Of A Crocodile

If you've been bullied then read this.

 

  

 

His reaping has come

Tears run down your sun-scarred face

The tears come to late

 

 

A born again slob

Suddenly Immaculate

Clues were abundant

 

 

He was calling out

You say nothing gets past you

But this came to pass

 

 

Peace and contentment

Has replaced the angst and rage

This too was a clue

 

 

His giuilty pleasures

The anime and manga

Bequeathed unto me

 

 

Bullies harassed him

His journey home blurred with tears

Now uneventful

 

 

Verbal bouts with you

Became sweet obedience

Nor was that a clue?

 

 

He sojourned to school

Face.....ominously peaceful

His eyes foreshadowed

 

 

Sirens were blaring

Students and faculty flee

Carnage abundant

 

 

You taught him quite well

Center Mass was no Problem

Prey became hunter

 

 

Six rounds, six monsters

They drowned in their own plasma

Their final sounds fade

 

 

His life, now forfeit

Yet cannot self-terminate

Only one option

 

 

The said to drop it

Weapon already barren

They had known this not

 

 

So he aims his piece

He cannot self-terminate

He makes them assist

 

 

His goal accomplished

Coerced police suicide

His body runs silent.

 

 

He once enjoyed life

It's atrocities scarred him

You aided him not

 

 

His reaping has come

Your sorrows do not ring true

They're crocodile tears
