BULLY

so this is how it happens
how trust is betrayed
how friends show they are not
how truth is mislaid
so this is where it happens
when silence is the choice
when friends look away and say
don't use your own voice

so this is how it feels to
lose a little love
lose a little faith
lose a little of
the faith you had in people
so this is where it goes
so this is their great steeple
so this is what god knows

so say it's egocentric
so say it's somewhat mad
so say it's just terrific
so say it's rather sad
so say it's so confusing
so say it's full of lies
so say it's self-abusing
so say it's... just closed eyes...

so this is why it happens
how giving up begins
when stupid fears take over
and nobody wins
so this is who is watching
who cares who cares at all
so this is what can happen
when will not share the ball

a schoolyard tantrum
love counts to ten
the passive wander

the bully...                   
   wins...
                   again
