When someone’s really cruel
And hurts you to the core
Why do you turn your cheek
As if begging for more ?
Bullying is so common
We see it everywhere
Don’t let it thrive and grow
And add lines to your brow.
Be a gentle man
But Fight back if you can
Meekness is no use
It leads to more abuse
So do not bow to might
But stand up for your right
The world is yours - my dear
So never bow to fear
Don’t let them rant and rave
Just stand up and be brave
If you will cruelty defy
And not just mourn and sigh
Then take my word for it
Your head ,you can hold up, high

You are right. Sometimes though so many pick on 1 person and it is hard and frightening for that person to retaliate for fear of worse abuse. Schools, families, community, governments must all work loudly to educate especially from a young age. Thank you for highlighting this important issue.
thanks for the feedback, appreciate it and agree with your views. thanks also for understanding and emphatizing..yes, some people are so thoroughly bullied that they always tend to turn the other cheek rather than fight back..but one day, i hope, everyone can gather the courage to say it as it is. till then, let's hope..
