Become An Up-Stander Not a By-Stander
Courage is to stand up for another
On social media,
To ask the coward to delete
The mean
To not show the victim
For feelings might not crush
Or crucify her
If she is never told
Resist the urge to be cruel
Or mean
Little bullies are
Usually tormented
By big bullies
Unseen
Do not go along
Be an up-stander
Retain your integrity
It may never
Be revealed how
Many you
Will be
Saving
You
Owe it
To yourself
To be an up-stander
By-standers are often
The next target
