It takes only One

As the punches and kicks fly

Bystanders look around

To and fro

Some look up at the sky

While others decide to take no action

And to just turn their backs

And go

The victim is hurt

As the bully walks away

But if one decides to stay

If one decides to stay and get a teacher or another

And make the victim's day

A life can be changed

Will you be that change?

Or stay in the background

And not make a sound?

Jesus would have offered a helping hand

He would have made a stand

It's time to take action

To be great

And to give happiness and satisfaction
