A Clear-Cut Line

There used to be a clear-cut line

Between what’s right and wrong.

If someone crossed it, he or she’d

Be caught before too long.


Of course, some bullies, even then,

Caused others to get hurt,

Behavior which put everybody

Else on high alert.


Yet even if they weren’t caught

Or punished, we all knew

Their actions weren’t cool or things

That we would ever do.


But lately now I see or hear of

Bullies everywhere,

Defying former norms in ways

Before, we wouldn’t dare.


So crime is up, decorum down

And harm is being done.

I read the news and feel so sad 

Before the day’s begun.
