Nobody's Innocent

By RavenCross

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You're watching and just standing still It's not your concern and you simply watch in shock Nobody's innocent when blood is shed And people stand around and no one helps There's no such thing as innocence when you Coulda done something Coulda fought someone You were scared and I don't blame you But you're not an innocent bystander Just a bystander nothing preceeding You didn't add pain but you wouldn't take it away You're not afraid to fight when it's your fight I thought it would be your fight When you see someone uncousious still being kicked Until there's more blood then there was before And nobody has helped still It's not brave when you're not scared Nobody was in the mood to be the hero of the day Just don't try to convince me I also know nobody was innocentThis is kinda... about something that happened at my school a few days ago. X.x There was this whole racial despute, and one kid wound up at the hospital. But a bunch of people were standing around no one helped the *unconcious* kid. I'd prolly be in the hopsital too if I'd been around. X.x Written December 6th, 2001 © on Dec 06 2001 10:02 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
