Notes About The Poem
Most bullies pick on people they figure can't fight back and they try to get others to dislike them too so they will be more miserable than the bully who is antagonizing them.Why they want to make anyone else miserable is unknown except for envy. That person seems to be able to be content even under dire circumstances and they envy that. So they strike out at them in any way they can. These people are insecure themselves and try to make others feel less than they are in an effort to make themselves feel "better-than-you". There is no excuse for that so give them a wide berth. With "friends" like that you don't need any enemies.
Are There Bullies
Are there bullies in this world?
You bet your life there are.
At school, at work, at play, at home,
They're closer than they're far.
We'd like to keep them far away.
They're no one's friend for sure.
They're like a cold, a virus,
For which there is no cure.
They pick and choose their targets.
Someone they think can't fight.
They find their Achilles heel,
Then they attack on sight.
It's the way they make themselves feel good,
Better about themselves.
Because they feel inferior,
And really don't like themselves.
They think of no one but themselves,
And so they feel alone.
Even in a crowded room,
They're heard above the drone.
They're jealous and they're angry.
They've no one save for self,
Because they've never been a friend,
All they have is SELF.
