Stop The Bully

You cannot solve
Another person’s problem
Although you would love to
Burn it for them

You feel their pain
See their agony and stress
But you can only
encourage them not to repress

Sometimes it is
The hardest lesson to learn
That they themselves
Have to go for what they earn

To see their resistance
Yet how they know
It’s up to them
to stand up and go

Sometimes it’s not
‘Bout hierarchy and salary
Not ’bout gender but
Respect and humanity

This is what others
Need to hear quite clearly
The small stands up
and finally speaks plainly

Not fear must be
The driving force
It is your dignity
That sets the course

No matter what’s after
Don’t be the punching ball
Maybe it’s about your past self
For whom you now get a chance to stand tall

Free yourself
From the curse of the past
And see how it changes
The present quite fast

In Love and Light
