Senryu 4

cycles continue
victims, weaker or smaller
bullies..born or made?


"It is curious that physical courage should be common in the world and moral courage so rare"

I don't think people are born to be bullies. It probably has more to do with the environment that they are raised in. This is a very thought provoking poem. Very well done, Donna! Congratulations on your win!...Thank you for the kind congrats on my poem.

This is very deep thinking. I think they are made. We are not born knowing how to hate. It is taught to us.
