I absolutely agree with you, Charmz. Each individual is responsible for his or her own actions. That anyone with power would take advantage of someone because they are weaker, younger, or somehow vulnerable is reprehensible. I don't care if they are male or female...it is a terrible thing when a child or an old person or anyone who is weaker is brutalized by someone who is stronger. Charmz, understanding is hard to come by in a selfish world where we tend to get caught up in our own wants and needs, and our own hurt feelings. But understanding and compassion is the one thing we really should work on as humans and as writers. The poem is strong and hard to read because it is all too true for too many children. Take care.
