Bystander - Poem




There will be a day,
When you come across a crying thunder.
When you see a helpless child,
or a bullied woman.
When people begin to scream hate and fear,
do not run and hide.
Yes, I know, it’s the easiest to calm our mind,
but will it calm your soul?
Soothe the thunder,
help the child,
protect the woman.
But most importantly, spread love and acceptance.
Do not run and hide.
Never become a bystander.
