In this alternate universe you must be mean and cruel.
Being kind and friendly isn't cool.
Our teacher Ms.Society says:
Greet with an insult,
Rape-don't make love,
You must belong to gang or cult,
May the devil meet you when you come down from above.
I am silent outside,
But inside I pray for her to the good man most hated:
I pray to God.
I may as well wish she burn in Hell.
I read my Sin Sheet:
Kindness is a sin.
Giving is a sin.
Love is unforgivable.
I leave class that day.
To home I'm on my way,
When I see a stray.
The kitten I give food everyday.
This act of kindness,
I try my best to hide it.
My parents would be ashamed,
And I would be maimed...
