Witness

A party store robbery last weekend deadly for patron and clerk Suspect ran out, waving his gun bandanna just covered his smirk Eye-witnesses? Almost a dozen not one of them saw anything Which way did he go? We really don't know straight faced they won't say a thing No one was fazed by the gun that was raised they said they were facing the wall All of them stand with a phone in their hand but no one had bothered to call Now there are two families mourning the witnesses should be ashamed Now will they do right, and help the law fight or be the next patron that's "slain" Its a tough one for many to answer they stay out and don't get involved They're usually the first ones complaining that another crime didn't get solved Remember who you, turn your back on it's easy to say "don't ask me" So don't think that it's pride when you must decide and who will you call? We shall see...

Pete. This is actually a FAVORITE of mine. I completely relate to this, as I have been a witness to things I fought for Justice for - a long time - and was often asked why I had the courage. I couldn't agree with you more on this!
