July 25: Bad things happen when good people sit in silence ...

Bad things happen when good people sit in silence

When nobody willing steps up to the plate

And those of us who think that peace is found in violence

Do not take the time to think about their fate

When those who know wrong from right just sit and take no action

Intimidated by those who want to harm and kill

When the weak who follow blindly, fall in with that faction

And then harm and killing becomes their only thrill

When nothing is ever done about bullying and fighting

If no-one meets the bully at the door

Then more violence results, fear and terror soon igniting

And the good in us is left to mop the floor

It takes courage and conviction to enforce right before the haters

To stand up strong and not be taunted by their threats

And what history records, will not be of the demonstrators

But those who stood unmoved despite the debts

Will they ever stop to think of the consequences of their decisions

Do they ever sit and contemplate their loss

Do they wake up in the night and think of the absolute derision

Have they the first idea of the line that they have crossed
