The days are gone
When one withering look
Could silence a room
The time has passed
From when your opinion counted
Your license has been revoked
All authority is rescinded
So whatever is was
You were about to say?
Just keep it to yourself.

~A poem by Meg Sorick.

Thinking about the kids as they return to school… I wish they all could realize that these days will pass and with them, the bully’s power to terrorize.
