I watch them bullying but I keep quiet,

I don’t know how to stop them, though my heart riots.

They victimize the weak and think they are strong,

No one checks them though they are so wrong.

My school is very busy and teachers teach ‘n go,

That small newcomer can’t say a big NO.

They take away his money and call him names,

Like a bunch of cats they play dirty games.

They push him here ‘n there they don’t let him eat,

They boss around like heroes ‘n think they've done a feat.

The newcomer then cries and swears to himself,

I don’t do anything.... but curse myself !

If only this could stop ,if only this could wane,

We could then breathe easy and feel a little sane.

I wish to tell you friend  you need to brave it all

Come let us raise our voice and let us make a call.

Report to the teachers and join our hands together

This suffering should then end we're birds of same feather.

No longer shall we bear ,no longer shall we cry

Bullying has to be stopped there’s no need to be shy.

If you stand firm and we all support you,

How will they dare and ever bully you, 

what's the use of studying if we can't raise our voice

We can stop it too , we have that choice.

I will not be silent nor will I be meek

I will dare to dare them, my mind I will speak.

My friends wake up now and now take a stand , 

We are quite strong , the power is in our hands.

We can stop bullying if we really want to,

we can raise our voice if we really want to

Silence is for cowards so tolerate no more

Its time to stand together and settle all scores.
