Bullies Like to Pulverize Their Pain

August 5, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

I will be away from August 7^th to August 19^th, so for this theme the poems will be divided as follows: The first two poems will appear on August 5^th and 6^th; the last five poems will appear from August 21^st through August 25^th. The theme for this divided week is social issues.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem about bullying:

Bullies like to pulverize their pain,

Unleashing torrents of humiliation,

Lost in a cruel lust they can’t restrain,

Longing for elusive admiration,

In vicarious hells of their creation

Even as they strike again, again,

Stripped of all but fear of isolation.
