The Bystander

Racing thoughts and jumbled emotions,

A worn heart that still feels

Wrenches and tears.

What have we brought upon ourselves?

I ask, as I see the victims of injustice everywhere

Screaming to be heard.

As the impeding wave draws near

With rightous fury,

I see myself a victim of it,

An understanding victim,

a victim nonetheless.

As the pendulum swings,

Taking me with it,

I know it must swing by,

it has taken much more of them,

A tear drops at the end.
