The Bathroom Wall Poem by Randy McClave

I read the paper when I want to read about the news,
But, when I want to read gossip about the ones who need to accuse,
I head to a local store or gas station and then I head to the toilet stall,
There I will look and I read what, is written upon the restroom wall.
There I will read the stories and lies and jealousy that is written down,
Sometimes it is so stupid and amusing I laugh and laugh like a clown,
These words of hate and gossip are not written by children, but by men,
And if anyone takes it for truth or sincerity, I pity them or even him.

If you are an anonymous wall writing, I will tell you that you are a coward,
Towards decency and honestly you have been scared and soured,
Adults do this graffiti to harass and belittle and even to start a brawl,
If you have something to say, do not write it on the bathroom wall.
I was taught how to write my alphabets when I went to school,
It gave me the power to converse my thoughts it is a powerful tool,
And if I need to let anyone know my thoughts or feelings here or there,
I write it on a piece of paper, and not on a restroom wall everywhere.
