Stand Up To Bullies

Stand up for the person always bullied Defend the helpless when they are worried Don’t do it to be rewarded or so you are owed a debt Don’t do it to be applauded or for any praise you’ll get Do it just because you can strong enough to take a stand Do it just to stop the suffer Do it just to help another Bullies think they are comedians when they pick on weaker ones Insulting jokes you’ve heard before Not their own original Picking on people smaller or someone with no support Never daring someone taller unless they outnumber that sort Some just enjoy your pain believing they have felt much more define those people as insane they feel good when you look small Kindness is not strength or weakness But a decision after all Intelligence that defines our creature without which we will fall Joining in to be popular or too just stay safe A barrier or mental blocker says stay out the way Stand up for someone else and another will stand up for you and you’ll never walk by yourself but with a worthwhile few It’s not impressive picking on the weak using the same joke that was used last week watching someone suffering always on repeat choosing not to help or fight like armies who retreat Stepping in will change the outcome you will help someone don’t be scared and don’t be doubting what hasn’t been done You’ll become someone to follow a loyalty to you because you stopped the pain and sorrow a role not to abuse Equal, kind, unharmingly, on a quest, armed if you need, Content, happy, harmony, Strength that will see you succeed *unharmingly - I invented that word - to be kind as a rule
