Karma in the Long Run
How bullies are truly punished for their callous acts of rage.
The numbers
of afflicted
are staggering
as they eventually
grow number
to the pain.
After a
while the
perpetual smile
becomes bent
into a facade.
the saddest way to
simply cope
against any
cruel points
hurled with
angst against
dart board skin.
Eyes no longer
bleed tears,
hearts are
shed of
all hope,
and shoulders
hunch like
Quasimodo on
an arthritic day.
All around us
souls tremble
under finger-
painted smiles,
scuttling mouse-like
past confrontations.
Conditioned by
past suffering
they avoid
standing up to
the bullies
who inhabit
the darkest
alleyways of life .
How sad that
some of us
need verbal
punching bags
to vent their
insecurities on,
Hounding the obese,
the homely,
anyone disfigured,
racially different people,
the gay,
the insecure
and the weak.
Hell must truly
be a house
of mirrors,
where those
who abused others
must endlessly reflect on
their own more hideous flaws.
that the demons
point out eternally
with sharp pointed
tridents.
The devil himself
the greatest bully of all
who served him
in like manner.
