I'm sorry that I just drove by
In my elegant suit and tie
Seeing you but ignoring the fact
That actually I could act
When I looked into your eyes
I couldn't hold the years of lies
Must be the age of my daughter
Your message I will teach her
My main concerns in life
Beyond the means to survive
I can't do that anymore
If I have to accept this for
Your suffering did change my view
It's not that I never knew
But now I do what matters
For me, you, and others

I would like to translate this poem
I have seen that most people around just don't bother if somebody is in trouble or needs care, they are not concerned. The protagonist in the poem, though, is indifferent in the beginning, shows a heart full of compassion. Thanks. I'm sorry that I just drove by /....Your suffering did change my view
