Who would protect us
rules of the jungle
might making right
in a land of bullies
our agency stripped
taken from us…
 
We were not safe
on that playground
within the classrooms
in the lunch line
bullies were in control
of that sacred space…
 
“Stand up to the bullies”,
advice we were given
but authority was missing
rules of the jungle
engendering anger
a need for control…
