IN BETWEEN

No one likes a bully
but I don't think people
know what it actually
means, I've known
some bullies, seen
them taking money
out the pocket
of someone's jeans,

they like to lean on the
innocent and weak
existing only to demean,

and your hands,
may not be clean
if you never stood,
in between, if not
then you are just cog
in the war machine,
full of a self serving,
vaccine,

it's the ones that dream
that know what it means,
in a land...far from pristine
...to be bullied and placed
underneath a guillotine,
to stand in between.
