A Clear-Cut Line

There used to be a clear-cut line Between what’s right and wrong. If someone crossed it, he or she’d Be caught before too long. Of course, some bullies, even then, Caused others to get hurt, Behavior which put everybody Else on high alert. Yet even if they weren’t caught Or punished, we all knew Their actions weren’t cool or things That we would ever do. But lately now I see or hear of Bullies everywhere, Defying former norms in ways Before, we wouldn’t dare. So crime is up, decorum down And harm is being done. I read the news and feel so sad Before the day’s begun.
