In the Heat of the Moment

In the Heat of the Moment

What do you do when you get in those
awkward positions where you just don’t
know what to do?

I mean, you know that you should
tell, but you’ve been conditioned
by the culture not to.

Snitches are persecuted and ridiculed.
They become outcasts as the masses
disassociate themselves from such a man.

So in the heat of the moment, you stop
and let the madness continue before you.

You try to carry on as if you saw nothing,
but something inside of you tells you that
you should have spoken up about what
you just saw.
