"Retard."
Nathan stopped what he was doing
And looked at Henry in confusion
He had no idea what the elder boy
Called him
He tried asking Henry
What he meant but
The elder boy just burst into laugher
And walked away
Filled with curiosity
Nathan proceeded to ask
His elder brother what
The word meant
However his brother was silent
And simply told him to ignore Henry
Not wanting to back down,
Nathan continuously asked
His brother what the word meant
Until he finally gave in
Nathan was not pleased to know
The meaning of the word
And why he was given that name
It turned out he was called "retard"
Was because
Of the way he acted
Henry hated how children acted
They were just so dumb
Nathan was no exception
After all,
He just turned seven
Nathan was behaving like how
He should behave
No one should fault him
Yes, he might misbehave
But there was no reason
To hate him
So why are children disliked?
