Overgrown Bullies and Overgrown Weeds

The weeds are squeezing around the flower beds in every corner of the yard.
They seem to grow a foot or two each night, smothering dainty flowers,
Sitting on them, squelching them, happily growing, strangling them.
Similar to the ways inconsiderate controlling people smother others,
Overgrown bullies who squeeze their victims, killing without conscience.
I race out there with clippers, an axe, leather gloves and a hoe. Chopping away.
Wishing as I chop that I could eliminate overbearing bullies in a similar way.

M. L. Kiser September 23, 2018 at 3:55 PM A nice comparison of weeds to what people are capable of doing to not only each other but, the earth and everything on it, as well. Well-penned. Caren Krutsinger September 24, 2018 at 1:52 AM Thank you. Fun to do.

Michelle Faulkner September 23, 2018 at 3:47 PM Overgrown weeds, overgrown bullies, never noticed how similar they are until this wise observation of yours-

Jan Allison September 23, 2018 at 3:18 AM Lovely to get a scythe and cut them down to size Caren -sadly I can relate to being bullied my friend:-(hugs Jan xx Caren Krutsinger September 23, 2018 at 6:11 AM Being bullied is something I do believe most of us can relate to, I have never met a person who could not. The one thing we all have to remember is - every little bully is being bullied by a bigger bully.
