Martyr Grandma

mob
frenzy
off the chain
out of their minds
making bad choices
my grandmother spoke up
she used the golden rule
dispersing them with her wisdom
she was the only one who stopped it
she had never been a martyr before….

Powerful but sad, martyrdom is a one way street.

I have discovered when one stands up, others usually follow, doing the right thing also.
