Strange Means Bad

I'm in French class, and I have like five seconds before class actually starts, so no boring commentary today. I just wrote a manifesto poem called 'Strange Means Bad', a rant against bullying. It's obviously a satire (not a funny one, just a making-a-point one) so don't think that I literally mean what I say with this. It's about a close-minded point of view and how it hurts people.
Here ya go:

Strange Means Bad


Strange means bad
Don’t forget
The shooters were strange
So strange means bad
The suicides were strange
So strange means bad
The cutters were strange
So strange means bad
The addicts were strange
So strange means bad
If you see someone strange
Don’t forget
Shun them and hurt them
Because strange means bad
Don’t you be strange
Be like everyone else 
And don’t you forget
That strange means bad
And when they come get you
The strange ones, they will
When they come kill you
Before turning on themselves
Just know there’s a reason
A very good reason
They did it all
Because strange means bad.

Bye!

Strange Means Bad
A manifesto poem against bullying and the media representation of school shootings.
“And when they come get you
The strange ones, they will
When they come kill you
Before turning on themselves
Just know there’s a reason
A very good reason
They did it all
Because strange means bad.”
