Fallen Leaf


I am a bully
I know bullies too
I am a bully
There are bullies at the zoo

The zoo that is the office
The zoo that is the mall
The zoo that is the schoolyard
Where angels seldom call

I do it for protection
I do it for a laugh
I do it without warning
There is badness on my path

Protection from the suffering
Being the brunt of all the jokes
Calling without muttering
Tied up, helpless left to choke

I am a bully
A bully through and through
You only can be a bully
When you have been bullied too

You too there in the office
You too there in the mall
You too there in the school yard
Where the bullies true do call
