Bullying Poem by Jon M. Nelson

They seem to think they're better than everyone,
And they torment other people just for fun.
Maybe it's because of their own low self-esteem,
And for some reason think that this will redeem.

Others are hurt by their actions and their words,
And the children's cries will often go unheard.
They do it without remorse or consequence,
But the whole idea just doesn't make sense.

Some children many times will live in fear,
And too often go home and shed many tears.
Others are afraid to be willing to take a stand,
And feel that nobody else will ever understand.

Some people watch and will do nothing to cease,
So, nobody can bring the tormented child peace.
Deep down they know that bullying isn't right,
So, it should be time that they stand up to unite.
