Unspoken Words Poem by shimon weinroth

I am not courageous nor vengeful
just seems so much easier to let it go-
pass me by, forget, side stepping
confrontation, is my dance of dignity

Why get involved, its beneath my code
in retrospect I claim, peaceful responsibility
look back at lanes and roads, boulevards
row on row of justifications

flatlands without traffic signs of hindsight
for I chose not to speak out,
now when my children ask, where were you

I did it for you and security,
it was too tough to speak out
I took the wrong turn
I did nothing but succumb
