Challenge
Think about the past week and put yourself in someone else's shoes. Perhaps it is that teacher who had a last minute substitute. Or the coworker at work that hardly speaks. For this, just think about someone else's life and what it means to them.
Bus Driver
Good morning!
Usually, there is no reply.
Those bratty kids who treat me like a servant,
Looking down at me,
Even though I am an adult,
And their lives are in my hands.
Don't misunderstand, please.
Some of them do greet me.
Make me feel that I'm not insignificant,
That I am not a tool to be used and then thrown away.
I try to be nice.
But those kids in the back,
They yell, scream, and make messes.
It's impossible to play good cop forever.
Coffee spills on the floor
Staining it a dark brown.
Two hours to clean.
They don't even say sorry.
I wonder if those kids,
Those kids who disrespect and lie.
I wonder what they'll be in the future.
