Teacher, parents beat kid to death over bad poetry

Teacher, parents beat kid to death over bad poetry

When you write a verse of appreciation for someone in the Indian town of Dalit, you sure as hell better make sure it's not total crap, especially if it's written for someone in a social class that you're hardly even supposed to know exists, much less have any contact with.

It's a hard lesson that the 16-year-old son of a common laborer learned when his teacher discovered an embarrassingly corny love note written to an upper caste girl.  The teacher responded to the pathetic drivel and trite rhyming scheme by beating the boy senseless with a cane in front of his friends.

After the girl's family was shown the verse, which is best described as a direct plagiarism of "A Whole New World" from Disney's Alladin combined with typical, pretentious highschool imagery like "broken souls being raked across the dark, searing coals of hell's black loneliness" and ", they reacted as expected, squealing "Ewww! Giggerty gross!" while making gagging gestures and stomping on the tattered scribe.

The boy later died from the massive injuries he sustained in the beatings. Some claim his death was actually caused by a broken poet's heart, but seriously...the poem was shit, people.
