His redneck workmates tease him at least that's what he said <br />They say such rude things to him like we've taken your girl to bed <br />They've doused his sandwiches in petrol and put salt in his flask of tea <br />And they've made life in the workplace for him a misery. <br /> <br />He is new to the workforce and to the workplace life still green <br />And he's just out of high school and he's only turned eighteen <br />About his older workmates he's too scared to complain <br />He'd rather keep his mouth shut and suffer the mental pain. <br /> <br />They taunt and persecute him his workmates a thuggish mob <br />And he won't complain them to his boss for fear he might lose his job <br />How many more are like him and suffer as he do? <br />For the victims of workplace bullying are no longer in the few. <br /> <br />He suffer on in silence and his problems only grow <br />And he is young and naive and his rights he does not know <br />His working life off to a bad start he's in at the deep end <br />And in the place he works at he doesn't have a friend.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-victim-of-workplace-bullying/
