It's so easy to laugh and point fingers when we ourselves are not in pain,
Often times we turn our backs, when a reward is not the gain,
But aren't we just as guilty, as the ones who commit the crime?,
Turning ourselves into judges suggesting how they'll do their time,
Why aren't we taking a stand when we see others doing wrong?
Instead of encouraging one another, we choose to leave them all alone,
Blaming the victim for their fate, as we are steady led astray,
Turning deaf ears to our brothers, no kind words will we say,
Watching others get in trouble while we just steady pass them by,
Searching for answers to our problems when we are the reason why,
So don't just fall for anything, and decide to do nothing,
Be courageous and speak up, but most of all stand for something!
