Act to Save
Walking down the street, a boy hides sorrow and pain
 His life has started a journey toward the end, still
 He manages to squeeze up his strength and go back to that place
 The thought of being bullied again won’t give him a moment to rest
 He has yet to experience a peaceful existence with no war
 The memory of the past becomes a dreadful scar 
 All the feeling he knows, understands and feels are sorrow and pain
 Only thing he looks forward to in his gloomy world is the end
 After finally attaining the comfort at home, he decides to escape reality
 Like everyone else, he starts his virtual life with a simple log in
 Wishing for some congenial news, but again, his wish has still yet to come true
 The moment he gets online, bullets of text fired at him strikes through, 
 Each one stinging worse than the last
 Even the pixels in the screen constantly remind him duly
 That even the escape of the digital world is sealed off by a bully.
 With few extra pushes, he is sure to give up on reality as well as fantasy, but
 For now he rolls himself up in blanket and allows the sleep to take over 
 In the cover of his protective shell, he hopes his dreams will turn out well
 Only to find out that it as well has turned into hell.
 He wouldn't dare murmur a single word of his situation
 His action's restrained, life tied with a chain
 And even a single word of his pain could bring his life to an end.
 Living a life of agony taints his life black
 But in midst of the abyss, he seeks for light flickering in the miniature crack
 Unable to speak, unable to express and bound to his sorrow
 He seeks for help from anyone and everyone
 His heart screeches calling out for help
 Just like him there are others waiting in the dark
 Hoping their voice would be heard through their sealed lips
 Time to answer their desperate call is upon us
 The saying “Action speaks louder than word” is now a must, thus
 It’s time to take action to rescue these millions
 Casting aside race, gender and class; we need to start a mission grand
 This is our world and we are its civilians
 We have to take the situation in our own hand
 To eradicate bullying and free the tortured soul
 Yes, indeed that should be our goal
 Don’t just let such a big issue pass by your sight
 Stand up, take a stance and fight for what is right!
