Bully Rules
Bully Rules
Pick your targets carefully
Soft and easy
Gentle and less inclined
To fight back
Choose them wisely
Look for the touch of timidity
Some frail weakness
Or physical oddness
Manage the brow beating
With loud and threatening words
To drown down
The quieter voices
Swagger self-assured
Before the pummeled and bruised
Grind upon your emotional knuckles
The fist of your blackmail
In the end
Resort to violence
Violent words
Violent acts
Beat them down with self-righteousness
The frail and anguished of heart
Slap them back with self-importance
The poor and undeserved
Accuse, belittle, bemuse, intolerant and muscle
Enjoy the sense of pervading power
You giant amongst the smaller
Lesser ego’s than your own
Remember; the eyes are implacable
Narrow minded and unconcerned
The mouth; a sneer of contempt
To punch before you question
Assume this bigotry
Of their hearts
Of their spineless sniveling
Be proud of your injustice
Always to gloat in blood let
And laugh out loud at their pitiful tears
Seek not to protect
But stomp upon any vestige of regret
Hate them my Bully
Demean them and degrade them
Turn them to your artistry
Of disguising and hiding your own cowardice
