We have all been the victim
in one way or another,
we have also been the bully
and we place false blame on each other.
someone may be labeled predator,
it's not always what you think,
we may get the wrong impression
when a person gives a wink.
Some may be harmed by words
that were not meant to hurt,
in many cases it is not known
and the innocent are treated like dirt.
We should set aside differences
and show others that we care,
when one is feeling angry
a poetic threat we easily share.
We need to learn to understand
how another might feel inside,
as a cyber predator or bully
it's a personal way to hide.
I may not understand it myself
but one thing I know true,
forgiveness is important
no matter what we may do.

Truly a powerful write you have penned here.....you make me aware of the other side of the coin...(not that I wasn't before)....but I applaud you for looking at the glass half empty -
There are two sides of this contest, and one is exposing the mighty quill of kindness.....and the other is hiding from the person who really pens words of....deceptive hellos -
I do agree with you in your last S*.....forgibveness is VERY important, as I believe forgiveness is where friendships are born.......but also, I believe, forsaking those who others have dissected to the bone, need to stand accountable for their actions -
May your Higher Power bless and keep you.....I hope you never become a victim of online predators.....your life will change forever, and most of the time, you can never get it back......your score shall be sent to your Host,
Bear ~
