Neighborhood Bully ( Title From Bob Dylan's Album Infidels )

Neighborhood Bully ( title from Bob Dylan’s album “ Infidels ” ) Always the gentle and the meek The target For beating and brow beat Back Some with fists And some with guns Others with words Blackmailing emotion And others come with religion Always the gentle and the meek The kind souls They seek Their targets Disguised in humility “ What ? Who ? Me ? ” Bigger Stronger More astute Bullies ply abuse In tyrannical tirades Weaker Weakness They cover In their faceless violence Of younger More tender Hearts And screaming vendetta They will scorn Whip lash from afar Any who stand firm Turn and pray They never return To point the finger Back at the accuser Bully Always prey on the gentler and meek The soft and kind They seek Their targets Never caring for the damage Or hurt they cause Self serving Sentiments Their only goal Neighborhood Playground Bullies Never grow up They are a singular circle of fear Reaching out to capture freedom Curtail the burgeoning light Which is not their own While hiding behind the mask of love Or behind a fist Or behind a gun Bully Personality Weapon
