Hyde Murrell Poet Free verse

Witness

How can you sit there without a care in the world?
you see how others treat him for being "different"
What exactly does it mean to be different?
Am I different because I'm not the same as you?
Or are you different because your not the same as me?

You worry about what others will do to you
Because of this so called "difference"
Because you are afraid you don't stop what they do
How can you sit there like it doesn't affect you?
I can guess how you think in this situation 

If I don't do what they do I'm not to blame.
I don't verbally or physically attack like them.
How am I to blame, too, in this act?
I just sat there, I didn't do anything
If I wasn't involved, why do I feel regret?

THAT, what you just said is, is exactly my point
It's because you weren't involved you have regrets
It's because you sat there and didn't do anything
It's because you didn't help you are also to blame
It doesn't matter if you were the bully or a witness they are both the same
