Digital Cruelty

Digital Cruelty

Digital Cruelty is the term we use
To describe the vile act of cyberbullying
It's a cowardly way to abuse

With words they never would say in a sling
People hide behind computer screens
To cause pain and suffering with their typing

Victims are left to deal with the means
Of cyberbullies who never show their face
Their anonymity is what really deems

This behavior as a disgrace
For it's easier to hit send than to confront
But the damage inflicted should never be erased

It's time to take a stand, to be blunt
And teach our children how to respect
For Digital Cruelty is more than just a stunt

It's a serious issue we must correct
Before it leads to a tragic effect.
