People are puppets held together with string
There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him
As he asked me to pray to the god he doesn't believe in
Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start
Fearful they end
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
He drank but finally drowned in his sorrow
Oh he could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
And don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to un-heave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
- The Hoosiers

Dear Bullies,
That boy you called gay today, he just committed suicide.
That girl you called fat today, she's starving herself.
That old man you made fun of because of his scars, he fought for our country.
That boy you made fun of for crying, his mother is dying.
That girl you pushed down, she's already abused at home.

That child you made fun of for being bald, they're fighting cancer.
So think about your actions.
