The Trio

Scott's scowl sent scared children scurrying
For Scott was a bully without the benefit of any benevolence
Living with an exterior persona larger than life
With an interior that was just a jumble of jarring confusion

Greg was Scott's henchmen extraordinaire, the enforcer
Of tremendous build for one of such tender age
His height and girth topped with childish blond curls
But for his demeanor, he could have been a dandy

Tony topped off the tremendously powerful trio
The best looking boy of the bunch
His smile able to smoothly switch from love to loathing
Reflecting his mood of the minute marvelously.

Together they traveled toward the edge
While everyone watched wanting to join but wary of doing so
For from that repulsive power arose an attraction
Harnessed and held in check by unknown forces.

Scott eventually died in an accident in which he lost his ear
The ear that had been deaf to the pleas of so many
Greg eventually was sent away for life
Imprisoned just as he had imprisoned others.
Tony eventually turned the corner in time
Finding himself in the service of god.

And those attracted by their awesome childhood power
Continued to live on the edge looking in.

Interesting thoughts on the impact of bullies. Did you actually know these guys?
