there once was a kid named ugly
because he was uglier than sin.
He couldn't even go to church
because they wouldn't let him in.
He couldnt get a job in retail
though he had a pleasant voice,
he ended up in warehousing
because he had no choice.
They made him wear a hat
and made him grow a beard
and made him wear big sunglasses
because he looked so weird.
He took this all and he bore it
all the names and all the stares.
he chose not to answer them back
he just swallowed his despair.
but then one day he'd had enough
he couldn't take it anymore
and he went on a bloody rampage
with his trusty 44.
the end

this is really good, although distribution sales would be perfect for that pleasant voice.

Very good. I always used to be extra nice to the weird guy in my first job. Everyone took the piss but I had overheard him talking about his love of guns and his collection, he was very weird. I made sure I was extra friendly so that when the day come he might let me live!

Wow,
That should teach someone not to call names, though, I guess they won't have to worry about learning that, they'll most likely be dead..lol..
Well done poet, a well done piece. 
Peace, Timothy aka poeticweaver~
