Bully

There once was a bully who ruled Thinking, man, he had everyone fooled. He did as he pleased With the power he seized Sure that he’d never be ridiculed. But the people who suffered his blows Were delighted at what I suppose Was a foolish mistake For a bully to make That reporters found ways to expose. Now the papers all print up the news Leaving readers to weigh things and choose If this bully should leave For most opt to believe Such behavior he cannot excuse. The moral, of course, hits a nerve For most bully-types rarely observe That they cannot defend Hurting those they offend And their punishment’s what they deserve.

Reminds me of someone I knew back in junior high school. Good write as usual, Ilene.

I've never understood bullying. Maybe I haven't suffered the woe's that they have. Wanting to cause someone else pain is beyond me. I mean, I get hurt and upset with people and want to retaliate, but I think bullying must be an emotional deficiancy. It always comes down to looking to God for his grace. Peace. :)

Good way to bring them to light, Ilene. Did you see the documentary about bullies. How I wish we had stronger laws to fight them.
