Blank Stare

They say

Money,

Possessions,

And looks make it all.

As they pass they dare not look.

Some may look in disbelief.

Some may look in shame.

Some may look in anger.

Which of these gives a hand?

None!

They are too worried about

Their worries,

Their agendas,

Their selfishness.

Humans, humans.

We can be unforgiving beasts!

If we only stopped.

Just for a moment.

What would we do?

Would you?

Would I?

Would we help the one in need?

Do we help?

The blind man crossing the street?

The old woman carrying heavy bags?

The pregnant woman who needs a seat?

They boy alone on the Street?

The homeless who needs some food and kindness?

Would we stop?

Or would we like all others continue on giving

A Blank Stare?
