The Cliques

Narrator:
Teenage youth with libido in full bloom
Sexting each other in the classroom
Bettie felt locked out in solitary doom
Friends, hook ups, cliques already have been made
Hopes of human contact already beginning to fade
His fate sealed in the seventh grade
Mrs Abbott tried classroom activities to get Bettie integrated
But customs of the cliques kept Bettie de facto segregated
The mysterious barriers were beyond what could be investigated
Something in him he felt they just couldn't relate
Maybe it was because none of them knew how to communicate
Or maybe it was simply they didn't have a common trait
Language was used for an ulterior motive
Each kid looking at what the other kid had to give
Deception and manipulation was the easiest way for them to live
So Bettie was bound to be antisocially prone
And asked Mrs Abbott if he could do the work alone
Happy with the work he got lost in a world of his own
