Bullies now from where they come
have done damage to unsuspecting ones
listen to their stories, from where they came
then you'll be less likely to lay certain blame.

Energies can be rechanneled into creative arts
this is a project done in the US for new starts
older bullies visit schools to explain their paths
so younger ones might adjust and better adapt.

the bully has a mind like you or me
some have been bullied themselves you see
they see their tactics as a way to have power
its not all there to intimidate, and make people cower.

Once you see bullying as a mechanism of defense
that some were raised out of home on a fence
takes time for them to establish new values
and see its better to be liked than feared.


Its never too late
for bullies or victims
to review their fate
their efforts can be directed to others.. lead them to the creative arts.
provide role models for younger troubled ones in search of fresh starts.

thanks serenity, think I'll slip in your words into the last stanza, if you don't mind.
