Bully Smile

A small body frame and an innocent smile

captured my heart for this neighborhood child.

Always helping and lending a hand.

Assisting every woman, child, and man.

A trip to the store changed all my dreams.

That same innocent smile was a bully and he was mean.

I saw him push a girl off her bike, her knees were all bloody.

She stood up crying, got back on her bike with her dress wet and muddy.

He stood there and laughed as if he loved to see her pain.

And everything I liked about this child, went suddenly down the drain.
