How Could you....., by Jameela Subscribe to rss feed for Jameela

When you see someone on the street 
You just walked past and didn't do anything 
That little girls scream for her mother still haunts you
because you just ignored her
That day you saw that woman get hit by her husband 
you shook your head and said thats really sad
How could you....
You stood their and watched as a person was robbed 
Your fear is what made you lock the car door
A child with marks on her leg that aren't from falling 
but you didn't pay it any attention 
Can you tell me why?
is it because you were once that person that needed help
you were the child that was picked on
yet nobody stood up for you 
all they did was just sit and stare
 So this the curse that you have taken on
To hear the cries of all those that you have done wrong
Now you know the pain of your wrong doers because you are
now one of them

This is a really good poem, and very very powerful. It makes me think.
