Emilia James Poet Rhyme

Bully Gang Crew

Clique click clickety-click
If you are liked group acceptance is quick 
Clique click clickety-clack
Upset one, knives felt in your back
Clique click clickety-clock
Whispering messages sent round the block
Clique click clickety-cluck
Recreant bullies deliberate destruct
Clique click clickety-click
Treacherous two-faced hypocrites 

Speak up against one when one attacks you
They'll group together the bully gang crew
They follow like sheep to try to seem cool
Encouraging each other, each torturing tool

Lecture on righteousness, go against it themselves
Bullies own egos stacked high on their shelf
Clever smart answers to try and impress
Wilful nastiness they will not suppress

Pushing, goading with a poisonous tongue
Septic words spoken that can't be undone
Negative words tightens noose round a neck
Friends and families mourn their own dead

Why batter and beat to control and feel strong?
When most know its wicked and morally wrong
No bullying, no tears, no victims to suffer
Kindness, respect - no pain to another.

Natasha L Scragg August 10, 2021 at 11:42 AM This is powerful poem Emilia. Being a victim of this kind of behaviour is no fun! And totally pointless. This is a very good poem with a strong message - bullying unacceptable. Oh and I love the onomatopoeia xx Emilia James August 10, 2021 at 3:34 PM Thank you so much Natasha, I do feel very strongly on this subject, no one should ever suffer this. Emilia xx

Dave Cox August 4, 2021 at 10:24 AM HI Emilia, enjoyed this! It's horrible to be bullied. I trust very few nowadays, I've found most let you down or betray you on a whim. Take care, Dave. Emilia James August 6, 2021 at 11:38 AM Hi Dave and thank you. Two things I detest most is cruelty and bullying. Thank you for reading, Emilia

Tom Cunningham December 13, 2020 at 8:09 PM We see it all too often, bully boys clubbing together, not just on the streets but even higher up in so called respected circles, mp, 's, the police, the armed services, you try and wriggle out of their grip and you get thrown to the wolves. Tom Emilia James December 17, 2020 at 2:35 PM Very true Tom, it is everywhere and many victims suffer in silence. Some like the power and control at any cost to another : ( Emilia.
