Some people act like bullies,
\nBecause they lack self-esteem,
\nSo they try to overcompensate,
\nBy treating others very mean.<\/p>\n

Brute force is not the answer,
\nIt makes the situation worse,
\nSomeone may get badly injured,
\nAnd wind up needing the nurse.<\/p>\n

God doesn’t like such behavior,
\nHe prefers that we are meek,
\nShowing others love & kindness,
\nEven turning the other cheek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
