Do You Dare?

Do you dare?

For I see you have stopped to stare.

Do you dare, for one screams in protest,

Mind you, you are no less,

A culprit I must say.

For can you not see a soul in dismay?

Eyes, tearful, look upon you for desperate help,

Does your soul not melt?

To see innocence being shattered,

Her soul is lost; she may die,

Where does your humanity lie?

Hearts disfigured, can she any longer feel?

Numbness around, she rewinds the reel,

Of events which has scared

Her existence reasonably left to discard.

For you didn’t dare,

You only stopped to stare.
