both adult and children
taunt
ridicule
humiliate
online
being the favoured
modus operandi
adult bullies hide
behind facades
lurk in all kinds of jobs
from the dog collar
to the classroom
needing constant approval
to bolster defective egos
they particularly like to hide
behind occupations
which take responsibility
for the young and the vulnerable
(easy prey )
thrive
off cruelty and suffering
wearing the approval badge
of respectability
Shadorma
innocent
a lovely nature
beautiful
sensitive
too good and kind for this world
they drove him to death
For all the victims of bullying
who found it impossible to sustain the torture
and took a way out
This poem is dedicated to you
B&P's Shadorma and Beyond

heart wrenching

ReplyDeleteBeautifully written and yet, reminds me of too many youths who have phoned our service and promised to hang in one more day...not realizing the second day would be the end. Such a sad reality we see to much.
ReplyDeleteOh my .... we are surrounded by bullies, old and young. Thank you for reminding us of the most vulnerable of their victims
ReplyDeletethis is heartbreaking...bullies are basically a bunch of cowards so they are always in a gang...
