Who's Bad

The little boy had cried 
He's all watery-eyed 
He should not have lied 

His sister really knew 
Her eyes black and blue 
Her brother threw the shoe
 
She, feeling sad 
Went and told dad
But thought she was the one who did bad 

By not telling 
On a sibling that has lied 
Makes you a liar too 

He only threw the shoe 
Because she was standing there 
Is it her fault
 
Protecting siblings 
When they do wrong 
Might cause need for more protection
