What's your morbid fascination to know the details of the ****
You'll stop and watch an accident From which there's no escape
It's not your entertainment In fact it's someone's life
It could be your brother, sister, It could be your wife
So stop and think before you gawk Is there a need for me to see
Unless your knowing helps those involved I suggest you leave it be
This won't be popular, but I watched a clip of Elizabeth Smart explaining why she finally gave into the publics demand to know the horrific details of her kidnapping. We also had a dinner debate about watching a traffic accident. I think we can't call ourselves civilized until we grow beyond being entertained by such things. I stopped watching the news and started to focus on trying to be a positive force. I would love to hear comments both pro and con.
