Did We Help Or Encourage

We didn’t start the fire we yell. But did we do anything to sooth those left burning? To help those trying to escape? To encourage those who did start it to stop lighting fires? Although we did not start it, we are guilty too. Because we could have done something Yet we sat by Waiting for others To do what we could have done but did not do. We did not start the fire! We yell. Thinking that is enough. Knowing it is not. Feeling ashamed As we should be.
