Notes About The Poem

 

Bullying Should Never Be Tolerated

I am weary of reading and listening to people using their pen to cripple. Bringing pain and suffering to others. I ask, what are their goal; to scare their brothers and sisters? Is it to catch a spark and lit the fire? Contain the fire, flammable words are dangerous. Pretending to be pure an innocent, but a viper they are, behind mask they hide. In the absence of those to defend themselves, they sneer and chide. Those that listen to them, they're credulous favor to listen, to their deliberately giving false statements, they instead of being careful, to insist of reading sound validation. No elixir or spell can cure the damage they've done only depends on first loving themselves. Judgmental People and Haters Back Off. Stop and surrender your brawling. Those that listen say, "Nay!" Back off! No more! Stay away! 10/28/2020 Judged By A Jury Of Your Peers Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mark Koplin

Congratulations on your win. Your line, "No elixir or spell can cure the damage they've done." This is so very true on soup and in life. Mean kids turn into adults. Have a wonderful day with your win.......................

well penned Eve, the second stanza hits home hard with someone who still pretends to be whiter than white yet in truth is far from it, victimiser turned victim:-( hugs jan xx
