To Pose A Serious Question

To Pose A Serious Question

Could you see the death of an innocent?
not on tele,
not in a video, a picture or news,
In person
right in front of your eyes.
Would it enrage you?
Or would it enfear you?
Would it make you rebel?
Or would you be shocked to silence?
Would you scream with fear?
Shake in the horror?
would you then do something about it?
What would you do?
Calm your nerves and move on?
Try to forget the memory and repress?
Kill that nagging consciousness of yours a bit more?
Or would you stand up?
Find courage, lead the troops of righteousness?
Apparently, you won’t even listen to the rebels,
ignore the revolutionary voices,
kill your soul instead of standing up
and for what?
your demeaning survival instead of
a short but incredible life.
I guess I’m the one who’s got it all wrong,
survival is worth more than a worthy life.
Well, Let me be just another minority in the mass,
ignore me like you’ve ignored your consciousness,
after all,
if the murder of your own worth
hasn’t provoked you,
what will?

I'm an artistic soul that can't quite live without exploring all expects of art. I'd probably die painting in my garden. I've been that way since I was born. Passionately in love with nature, trying to find ways to express it. Poetry spills out with breath from me and I can't look at even trash without admiring its aesthetic. If you ever spot me anywhere, I promise you'll find me either laughing or lost in beauty that no one's yet spotted.
