Bully Poem by Richard Jarboe

You can see this guy's a bully,
Listen to him scream and yell,
It seems he never developed fully,
Why? Nobody can tell.

Maybe it was low self esteem,
That made him so mean,
His outlook seems a little bleak,
Maybe that's why he wrongs the weak.

It's better not to abuse the young,
Every blow sounds like a drum,
It's better not to crush the small,
And every bully one day shall fall.

Maybe not while they're in school,
Where they do a lot of hurt,
Where evil turns into a tool,
While playing in the dirt.

Time owns us, fate owns us too,
As we revolve around the sun,
And if somebody's bullying you,
Forgive, forget, move on.

And if you're a bully and like what you do,
There's always a bully bigger than you,
Time is just a matter of time,
Sooner or later a bully's overdue.

You can't fix everything,
But you can fix whoever you are,
Once you unload excess baggage,
You'll find you'll succeed and go far.

There's an art to dodging bullies,
Rise above with spiritual pullies,
It's a shame some come to a a bloody end,
Stay away from bullies, don't make them your friend.

There's a bunch of people who don't give a hoot,
When they misbehave we call them a brute,
Some kids are picked on all day,
But we're better than chickens, there's a better way.
