They lurk the halls of locker lined walls

They sit in classrooms waiting for prey

Yes, they exist even in offices,

Parks and subways

We’ve all come in contact with one

In our lives

As if they even ever had the right

They are ferocious, unfeeling, crippling beasts

When they are in their own arena’s scene

Unceasing and determined

To wipe out and slay

While tails hide between their two hind legs

They are the Bullies of today.

As beasts they roam the earth,

Waiting to devour

But they are not who they say they are

In fact, we’ve no need to cower.

It has been guessed at and assumed

But no one has confirmed—

Are these beasts really cowards

On this upside down Earth?

How can we know for sure

Who they really are

They must lack courage

For they face only the small

I dare say they are cowards

For it is the little beings

Who are soaked in the beasts’ shadows

Until it comes to evening

Once they are home,

They aren’t greeted with hello

But with the same slaps and bruises

They afflicted on little Joe.

That’s how they’ve learned their ways,

To continually harm

Because at least they feel better

When they’re twisting SOMEONE ELSE’S arm

When will they learn

They were not to be beasts

But loving, affectionate,

Capable human beings?

Not “blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing” intimidators

The world is already full of plenty alligators

Here’s to the bullies

To turn against their creed

For beasts have roamed far too long

It is time for human beings.
