What's for Tea?
Hold him down!
I am eleven,
you are ten
I sit on your chest
to batter you red
all over this long green grass.
Here on this wasteland
I am king
and I feel nothing
not for posh kids like you.
My brother is filming me.
He likes your new mobile phone
and later we can play back your screams
on our way home.
It'll be
a laugh.
The more you beg me
to stop
the more I'll bash
with this brick.
It's only half a brick,
actually.
I can smell
you've peed
in your pants
What a wuss.
Serves you right
for talking posh
that's why we brought you here.
You've shut up now,
you weren't so clever
not so clever after all.
See,
how much stronger I am
that'll teach you
that's taught you
for ever.
Now I wonder,
what's for tea?

The last line is a corker. Really defines the near sociopathic disregard some bullies have for their victims. The line "serves you right for talking posh" recalls a few memories I'd rather forget... Great poem.

Kinda depressing how accurately
'See
how much stronger I am
that'll teach you'
Sums up the people like this.
Love how you managed to capture the callous disregard of the bullies.

Thanks Jack - this was based on a very depressing news story I heard today where two boys bashed their victim with an old sink and filmed it. Horrific.

Thanks, Judas - yes what a world we live in where children behave like this. It truly beggars belief.

The complacent front that you've given the child is spot on.
Great piece!

Thanks Party Trasha - and may I take this opportunity of saying how much pleasure I derive from your pseudonym - why, there may even be some inspiration for a poem from it.
