Should people tell
when they know something is not right
should people tell
when they know it for a fact
Should they turn a blind eye
like most people do
or should they tell what is true
Is it a case of
how many secrets
how many lies
how many victims
how many die
because people turn a blind eye
Tell someone today
don't let the victims pay
Abstract generalities without a hook to make me really feel what it is you're motivated by. This poem was written four years ago. I have no idea what has been in the news a lot for the past few weeks. My first thought was the American government's platitude of See something say something that's had some currency in relation to fighting terrorism. But without a heartfelt anchor, an image, a concrete reference to actual affairs its all just so many words. Sorry, I'm just not moved.
good morality..............................teaches good values to whole of the world may it bring change in the lives of victims
A highly thought provoking poem. So many evils exist in our society because people are indifferent. They just don't care about what's happening around that needs to be thwarted. Thanks and congrats. The poem is added to the list of my favorites.. ** how many die / because people turn a blind eye
Turning blind eye to abuse is tantamount to aiding and abetting injustice. An insightful piece of poetry elegantly brought forth with conviction. Thanks for sharing Dave.
