I Wish I'd Dared to Really Care
And my classmate was being bullied
I just sat and watched
I wish I'd dared to really care
When I was in school
And a girl was being molested
I just turned around and looked away
I wish I'd dared to really care
When I was walking down the street
And I saw someone's purse being stolen
I pretended not to see
I wish I'd dared to really care
When somewhere in the night a child cried
A woman wept, someone died
I pretended to sleep
I wish I'd dared to really care
May be if I had dared to care a little
May be if I was not so brittle
On one more face there would be a smile
Some one's life would have been less of a trial
MAY BE WE SHOULD ALL DARE TO CARE

Post a CommentFear compounds, isolates, singles out, sets apart, and powers the imagination.. after learning that no one comes to help, it moves on and empowers the next generation. The freedom to speak if not punished powers at last the non-violence one craves.
I feel you Mayka. I love this as it portrays both the compassionate side of the human heart as well as the ignorant side. Such a whole picture. Great poetry with true meaning.
