Bullies

As my little boy gets bullied in school,

I tell him to be cool,

A slap for a slap,

Or a clap for a clap,

While non-violence is the way forward,

If the opponent is violent, there's no stepping backward,

Fight your fight and stand your ground,

I tell him to his little face that is semi-round,

He cries in response,

Saying this isn't what he wants,

So bullied he gets,

While I try not to fret,

I wonder who the parents are,

So that I can give them a slap for a slap, for my child's lifelong scar,

Bullies are horrid,

They have to be caught and reported,

I prefer the path of violence,

While my skinny cherub, prefers non violence,

Sigh!
