Look Back Down

When he was small,
Just in first grade,
He saw a bully
Picking on another,
But he looked back down.
 
Later on in life,
Throughout his school years,
Every time he saw the trash
Falling from their hands,
He looked back down.
 
During an important test,
He watched the two of them
Conniving together,
Cheating their way through,
But he looked back down.
 
For who or what will we stand?
How much has to be at stake?
Each time we do it,
It gets easier
To just look back down.
