I'm sorry! I'm sorry for whatever I did!
The boy cries, sprawled on the ground.
Under his feeble arms, he tries to find his face that is hid.
Again and again, the boy towering over him, kicks and pounds.

He cries out asking why he wouldn't leave him alone.
The bully's only response is more kicks.
The boy peeks around for help from anyone.
Finally the bully stops, silence. Time goes by slow ticks.

They are both breathing heavily, but one is gasping for air.
With hate in his eyes, the bully looks down at what he's done.
The boy doesn't dare look up. No more pain can he bear.
Then, the bully laughs, like it was fun.


This is just one example of bullying. Bullying can be physical and emotional. Treat others how you want to be treated. It's that simple.

I did love this poem, but it really isn't "that simple". Now, I'd love it if it was, but it just isn't. There are people who don't know how to deal with their problems  so they take them out on others, and then some people are just evil.  We can never have a perfect system like treating others how we want to be treated, even though  that's what we want. We're never gonna have a place where there is no violence and everyone is treated right because that's just not how humans work.

But really, beautiful poem, diamonded ^^

Thanks. I appreciate your opinion. However, I think it is that simple. Granted some people treat others badly just because they want to, but they believe their actions are ok only because it was allowed or expected. If someone (with more influence than me) came around and showed us how disasterous violence is then we could see some real change going on on this beautiful planet of ours. See, the most complicated questions often have the simplest answers, whether you want to believe that or not.

Thank you either way.

If you think that simply telling people to be nice will fix problems, you are mistaken.

Humans are fundamentally a violent race, and seek personal gain over the 'greater good', whatever that is.
You are fighting human nature. A poem is a nice idea, but without trying to understand the bullies' situation, you won't accomplish anything.

Well, I do understand where you are coming from. I used to believe the same thing. Through first-hand experiences, I learned that is not true. Everyone has a choice. See the bully (in my perspective) came from a household of being bullied, physically and emotionally. However, he chose to act against this other person without reason. This is not human nature. Human nature is animalistic--we are animals after all--and needs a legitimate reason for picking a fight with someone. So, yes, you are right in saying humans are violent. There is not anyway of getting around that, but we CAN choose to not fight.
