Silent bystander
You passed by those streets
In your cars Not looking twice
And if you would have even looked once
You would have had the urge to save their lives
It’s the complains you make every now and then
About not having enough to eat and make
On the streets these women, they lie in wait of something
That will quench their thirst while their stomachs ache
You let out exasperated sighs about the never ending quarantine
But little do you realize that you are in the comforts of your house
Lucky enough to have a roof above your head, while others lay
On footpaths in despair ,they go unheard in all this chaos
You’re tired, you say again and again that are tired
And what about these doctors and social workers
They work tirelessly so you can stay at your houses
You owe it to them at least , to make their lives a little less worse
Look at all those privileges you have
Put them to use , why let them subside
You can help the needy with the whole of your heart
And see your actions ,let them freely smile
Once you decide to bring about change
Nothing but your desires will stand in your path
Even if you start from so little, anything you can do is commendable
You can save lives , and that shows your actions depth
Protect those people in need
With food,essentials and something as small as a mask
You would letting them pass these nights of horror
By doing what a human does, putting that mind to Task
