I rather like the duality of each of the lines, and how each, despite telling a different story than the line preceding it, begins the same way. It gets to the heart of the matter when it comes to describing not only the choices we can be faced to make as human beings, but also the effect of those choices once they've been made. Do you see someone being bullied and speak out? Do you walk away? Are you the one perpetrating the act. When it gets worse do you change your attitude? Make different choices? Continue in the same vein?
The language itself is rather mundane and overused (especially in poetry), it seems somehow necessary, however, in order to create the overall effect which, I believe, is very powerful, indeed.
