If Bullies were no More

Life would be more pleasant if all bullies disappeared,

If there was no-one lurking round whose mind was firmly geared

To persecuting anyone who seem to be quite weak

Or vulnerable in any way, so they could easily seek

To cause them pain and sorrow, and subject them to such stress

That they would very quickly find their lives were in a mess.

Bullies are a menace, in whatever form they come,

Very often cowards at heart, attaching only some

Who seem to them the weakest, and least likely to retort

With words which clearly indicate a battle will be fought,

And they will be defeated by a stronger one than they,

And after being defeated, sent quite firmly on their way.

But there are some who are not tough, and shy away from fights,

And bullies take advantage of their vulnerable plights;

But wouldn’t it be nice if every bully changed his ways,

And all potential victims could enjoy much happier days.
