Rise Above

Children are cruel,
That's what they say--
They ridicule, torture, and sneer
'Till daylight.

They wither in the sun
And linger in the twilight--
They thrive in their parasite nests
At midnight.

With tongues as sharp as an arrow shot,
Or the sting of a wasp,
They come after, infest.

And I hate them all,
May they all rot,
Because they plague the world to its very depths.

I just hate people.
