'Sticks And Stones'

No matter what anyone says,
do not believe it,
cause sticks and stones,really do,
break bones..

Those little name calling games,
wound people to the core.
They should be more sensitive,
and grow-up a little more....

Shoving, pushing and hitting,
are all signs of weaknesses,
that lie down deep,
within yourself.............

Before you strike a blow,
or think that you must be,
the head of the whole show,
remember,it's only you being shown.

No one really thinks you are cool.
In fact, they think you are a fool.
Is this your way of ruling,
or does it make you feel good.

I hope next time before you throw,
that big ole stone,
you will stop and think,
just how much it really means...Nothing!


Please tell me what you think

    The Bully never knows or cares the life time damage they often cause. Not only little school kids do it but it can continue to the work place and in the marriage too for some people. The bully has more problems than the one they are picking on, but if you are on the receiving end of their vicious tongue it is difficult to believe that, especially if you are also afraid of physical voilence too. Your poem is so right but how you get through to these horrid, weak people, I don't know.
