Everyone out here are having their own problems,
With their issues and sorrows they are dealing,
And just for your fun, when you crack jokes on others,
You just don't know how much it might be hurting their feelings...
That girl you just called fat, is starving to have a good body,
That boy whom you locked in the washroom, lost his father yesterday,
That girl you just called a slut, is nourishing a baby in her uterus,
That guy whom you call a loser, works hard day and night just to succeed someday...
You just don't know what the other person is going through,
And how much your *joke* can hurt them,
You can't see what is inside a tree,
Just a tall straight standing stem...
The student whose notebook you tore apart,
Was writing it for the past whole year,
That person whom you trouble by ragging everyday,
Deals every minute with tears and fear...
So learn to be vigilant towards such acts,
Because these things are siblings of inhumane,
Be courageous to raise your voice when you something wrong,
And show that you are a real human being by being human!
