You say <br />you want to know <br />about their pain. <br />You say <br />you wish you had <br />some warning. <br />You feel bad <br />that you didn't <br />have a sign. <br />Do you? <br /> <br />If they cry for help <br />before they have done <br />the destruction... <br />do you wipe their tears <br />or do you laugh at them <br />and say they are just <br />seeking attention? <br /> <br />Warning signs? <br />They're all around us. <br />Do we really <br />want to see them <br />or do we just want <br />to say we wish <br />we would've seen them. <br /> <br />It's easy <br />to say we would've <br />done something. <br />It's much harder <br />to actually do something. <br /> <br />Are you <br />a silent observer <br />or are you <br />an active listener? <br /> <br />If you think <br />it doesn't matter... <br />you're tragically mistaken.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tragically-mistaken/
