A Bully
A bully is a criminal caught red-handed in Japan,*
Vietnam,† Afghanistan, Iraq; a culprit or a marked man
Who entitles only himself to missiles, putting a ban
On possessing them by others; and try as much as you can
To put into his empty skull with your best-laid scheme and plan
That he is wrong, he won’t perceive. You should only weigh and scan
All ways to find one to teach him a lesson for his life span.

* Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed with the USA’s nuclear bombs
† In a prolonged war (1954-1975) between the USA and North Vietnam
