Your Turn
Do you know,
about the kids being bullied,
the larger girl over dosing on diet pills,
The smiling boy hiding all the cuts,
Yes?
Well did you know about,
The math teacher abusing children,
the father who burnt his children and self alive?
The mum killing her newborn and dumping it in the trash?
Yes?
How about..
The child bleeding in the tub in front of your eyes,
the bruises on your daughters face,
the slaughtered animals scattered in church,
the bunch of students who forced an unpopular student to comit suicide?
Yes?
Then why didnt you stop it?!
So many of us all stand back and watch,
the destruction of the world play out before us.
When we could do something and yet only give a cold shoulder.
What will you think..
When its you suffering alone and no pity is given?
