When Bullies Cry

One two three four five six seven Not all children go to heaven Right is right and bad is wrong Jack fell down and broke his crown One two three Four five six seven School is out it's half past eleven Jack shot off his gun Staff and students had to run One two three four five Six seven Who took bullet aimed at Helen Principle called police Parents paid the judge bail fee One two three four Five at sixty seven Jack's in jail in old San Quentin Bible verse spread out in hand Regrets killing a preacher man When bullies cry... You have to wonder why...

Children and adults having to deal with these types of situations in school...very sad. Well-written.

Hello Arturo … unfortunately bullies attack those that they believe are weaker to make them appear strong. However, when they discover that the law is more powerful than any individual and their deeds, the tears flow - thank you Arturo - Lindsay

Arturo, I always think that a bully is a coward and if confronted will cry like a baby ~

Often they will cry to make you feel sorry for them. Trouble is people are basically who and what they are. They seldom change for the better. A really fine piece and very well thought out. Good job. God Bless, JB

Good one attacking a horrible plight of the world, bullying. Cyber bullying is even worse in some ways.

- A week ago, a woman was killed with an ax ... by a young man - when she visits the family's tomb, here in my nearest town ...

- There were bullies in my youth too ... but the violence is completely different today ... children who kill ... where does it come from ... environment ... an overly busy everyday ... press ... mix of cultures ... parent ... lack of respect ... or love ... it's so sad - They have every reason to cry ... they must live with these memories - A GREAT poem + and video ! - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
