He has blossomed into be nobody's fool <br />The boy who was taunted and bullied at school <br />Quite a brilliant scientist and few of his kind <br />And his very equal would be hard to find. <br /> <br />The victim of bullying is well known and admired <br />And he works like one who is truly inspired <br />On environmental science he has a degree <br />And few indeed are as successful as he. <br /> <br />The quiet boy of the school he was rather quite shy <br />But to give of his best at his studies he always did try <br />And though the school bully boys he never did offend <br />Against their unprovoked physical attacks himself he could not defend. <br /> <br />With twin five year old daughters and a beautiful wife <br />His past he has put behind him and got on with his life <br />In his chosen field he did surely succeeed <br />And by good example he is one who does lead. <br /> <br />And the two boys who used to assault him as young men turned to crime <br />And for burglary and larceny they are now serving time <br />The karma we receive is the karma we are due <br />And those who laugh last laugh the loudest that sounds ever true.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-victim-of-bullying/
