Why? Poem

November 29, 2012

A pair of Ugg boots for Christmas
Knock off boots
Miss me jeans for your birthday
Levi jeans
New clothes for a new year
Hand-me-downs
Newest IPhone
Free flip phone
Vacation to Europe
Road trip to Iowa
Never questioned
Always judged
Why?

You hear about it
But never listen to it
Talk about it
But never think about it
See it
But never stop it
Feel it
But never say anything
Why?
You are judged
But never questioned
For what you have
Why?

Why are there classes?
Why isn’t there equality?
Who really cares…
What they have
What they think
What they do
You care
But they don’t
Why?


The author's comments:
For my English class we had to write a short narrative about a social justice. I chose bullying because i think it is a big issue among teens and most people don't even know it is happening. Please leave and comments or helpful tips.
