Poem 12. Who Are You?

For the bullies around us...

Who are you?
You say what you want to say
You think what you want to think
You do what you want to do
Believing that others are weak and you are strong
Thinking that others are not right and are always wrong
Pretending that you can do everything all alone
with pride
with assertion
flying your own kite
blowing your own horn
singing your own praises
playing your own trumpet.

Who are you?
You look unto others like easy preys
You speak unto them like you owned the place
You act like a God who could control everything
Believing that the preys are easy to haunt
Thinking that they should not speak like how you talk
Assuming that they are your puppets
who should not refuse
who should not think
because they are weak
because they  should not act freely in this world
for this place is not free
from BULLIES like you!

But then, who are you?
Criminals should be punished
Beasts should be caught
Bullies should be stopped
Like You!
Who are you to boast what you have?
You own earthly things which could vanish anytime
You have the strength which anytime could be gone
You have the money which cannot buy someone's life
For you will be judged of being who you are!
So now, who are you?

I hate bullies also, though I'm the type who was verbally bullied. But since I've gotten over that it already releases all the hurt that I'm feeling. Anyways, this poem was something that really lives an afterthought to everyone who reads it something that can serve as an eye opener (:
