Users Who Spiked
THE BULLIES OF THE WORLD

I had awoken from a dream
where those who had killed
were now all dead
and those who were hungry
had all been fed
the rich who abused
had all been bled
and the sick had been healed
breaking free from their beds
the bullies of the world
had all since, fled
and as I lay paralyzed
confused
rubbing my eyes
I sat up, staring at the wall for a moment
in profound dissapointment
that it was all in my head

I thought this line was interesting, as most people don't understand the systematic bullying that goes on in the world in the socioeconomic systems. It's been said that people of the power bully behind the scenes, so it's not always recognized. -
This is a lovely poem, highlighting the various ways of inequality and bullying of the world.

Sounds like a great dream. I would have woken up disappointed too. I love the picture you chose. Do you know who the artist is?
Thanks. I'm the artist. All the pictures with the poems are my work.
It's the cover art to my first book. https://www.amazon.com/Your-Dog-Called-Wifes-Fire/dp/1520793448
