Poem


     

             San Francisco, 1978


Now. stop thinking, that this is a story online.
There I stood, about to board a Muni bus.
In my head, thinking the world was all fine.
Across the street, a couple, having a fuss!


How could I stop them, I called the police!
The men in blue, said they were far too busy?
My weak knees shook as if made from fleece.
A huge Macho man, slapping a woman, it made me dizzy.


Blood from her nose dripped, cold people walked by.
I simply decided  to stop this all on my own!
Others, enthralled with muses or clouds in the sky.
Nobody cared if macho man broke all her bones.


Well, I certainly did, and strode right into the jaws of  danger!
He had her by the neck, punching her face.
A petite gal, I, to take on a large stranger?
To do nothing, would be to my utter disgrace.


I just walked there, knowing he was a creep!
I just ordered him to get his hands off of her.
Little did he know, I was no helpless sheep.
He was angry as heck, but he did enure!


I gave her Kleenex to wipe off the blood!
People passed by, as if we were not there.
Crimson running down her face like a flood.
We were just ghosts, not one person cared.


He had thrown her things all over the place.
I helped her getting her things off the street.
He disappeared down a hill in utter disgrace,
Evil can occur anywhere, stop it, if you have
the heart’s will!


Today, you may be jailed for saving lives.
This was not the first time, I took on danger.
Saving others, is the meat on which  I thrive.
Those violent, insane beasts, harming innocent strangers.
