Picked on and Beaten
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Do you think that because you
Were picked on and beaten?
That now for some reason
You deserve special treatment
We all have been picked on
And beaten dear
If a man was not beaten
He would not be here
So, you’re not alone
In your suffering honey
We all have been through it
We don’t think it’s funny
But that doesn’t mean
You should harden your heart
And learn to be cruel
Making evil an art
Only the wicked will suffer in hell
So, learn to do good and all will be well
