The Reverse Domino Effect

Visible to anyone in the world

One person picks themself up from the ground

And someone close by sees, and does the same.

Dusts themself down, and carries on.


A third picks up the same idea:

Defeat is not defeat; and copies yet again

The resolution they have seen before.


And so it carries on; one act of courage

Can be infectious in a chain, and at the end

We all may rise again with pride.
