The Village Idiot Poem by Francis Duggan

The Village Idiot



There is a Village idiot in every little town
A poor not too with it fellow for others to put down
Some people find it enjoyable to others to be cruel
A fair go for all to all never applies in a town where bullies rule
Pity the Village Idiot the small town's favourite put down boy
The mocking and the taunting of him the bullies do enjoy
Disrespect for the vulnerable begins at a young age
The local teenage bully never grows into a sage
In every small Town and Village a Village Idiot reside
Where the constant tauntings of bullies erodes his sense of pride
Most small town teenage bullies as bullies do remain
If not open to enlightenment insights they never gain
They find enjoyment in their cruelty at least that's how it does seem
And from the poor Village Idiot they strip all self esteem.
