The Brave Do Not Heckle

The one who joins the heckling and booing mob may somehow feel empowered But as an individual in him runs the coward The brave do not heckle or boo they stand on their own For such cowardly behavior their sort are not known In the face of derision the brave one speaks out Booing and heckling of an individual is not what bravery is about One individual against a harassing mob is powerless to fight back And those who join in the heckling and booing In courage and compassion and empathy lack Such people in their thinking and behavior in their ways are so small Their idea of a fair go does not encompass a fair go for all About such people there is nothing on which to admire Any sort of fairness or justice their sort never inspire Above the very ordinary they never do rise And any of them never short listed for any peace prize.
