They laughed,
because they thought it was funny.
They smiled,
at the fake smile.
They went along,
with the fake happiness.

Of course they didn’t know,
that their laugh,
caused so much.
That their teasing was troublesome.
That what they did,
affected others.

They didn’t know that their words hurt.
They didn’t know what they posted,
affected.
They just didn’t know.

What they did,
they thought was okay.
In all reality,
it wasn’t.
But even if they were told,
it didn’t stop them.

They liked it,
since it brought people down,
and they were on top,
power driven,
mad.

Crushing people,
like paper.
Putting them down,
throwing harsh words,
like throwing a baseball at them,
and expecting them to catch it.

They growl at them,
venom dripping from their words,
pushing people to the far corner,
and sashaying away.

They started it,
because they heard it from someone,
“Did you hear?”...
“No way! He was spotted with...”
“Omg no way”..
It starts out as a “simple, harmless” joke.

This isn’t the case.
They post, and say.
Things over the screen,
don’t seem as harsh when you’re posting,
but when you’re the receiver,
they’re the harshest thing ever.

We’re all corrupted,
each has an evil within.
Some let it show,
and we all have at one point.
Some keep it out.

Bringing down people is what we do,
all the time,
we try.
Try and bring down.
All for what?
The satisfaction of being the powerfulest?

We have no reason to do this,
we just simply do,
for fun.
It’s all for fun,
but it's not.

It should stop yesterday,
not tomorrow,
not today,
but the point is,
is it should have stopped.

People laugh,
like it is a joke,
but when in reality,
it isn’t.

In the end,
we forget,
we simply forget,
everything,
how it is,
what it is.
What it does,
we forget.
