Bullies
Some people are bullies;
They push other people around.
On what we would call their true nature
We really don't have to expound.
Growing up we knew bullies.
Remember them way back in school?
Avoid them or pay the consequences
Was the general rule.
Adults, too, can be bullies.
We have seen them in action.
Intimidating other people
Gives them great satisfaction.
Some politicians are bullies;
Their tactics are quite nefarious.
They love to put on an act
And pretend to appear gregarious,
Yet their lack of concern
For the people's well-being shows.
"You mean they couldn't care less?"
You've hit it right on the nose.
Certain groups can be bullies
And resort to torture and killing.
Their lack of human compassion
Strikes us as frightfully chilling.
Some countries are bullies,
Horribly abusing their power
And expecting other nations
To bow down, grovel, or cower.
They want to call all the shots--
Diplomacy's not on the table--
And often take advantage
Of a country that's weak or unstable.
That WE would be stuck with bullies
Was bound to come to pass.
WE humans will always
Find some who are pains in the ass.
