This is hard-hitting and shows the apathy that most people have towards others and their situations. Wouldn't it be nice if that could be turned around?
I'm diggin' the way you've tied these seemingly disparate events together. It's fun to see a common thread running through cloths that seems so dissimilar.
The repeat of the line, "yet not a head turns round to look ", drives this lesson home
as with a hammer.
This has become our national anthem, just look away.
Is this quilt I feel?
and to whom do I appeal?
I always thought the saddest story I ever heard was of a woman in the subway raped by her assailant in rush hour and not a head turned nor hand was lent to help. That is... until it happened to me. Now I think, quite selfishly, that THAT is the saddest story I ever heard.
Well written commentary of our current social situations - stand back and let others take charge. Don't go in where the water is dangerous and become involved. Thankfully I meet up daily with people who do become involved, as I am. Sometimes its so overwhelming, one doesn't know where to start...so walk away instead. Gave much for us to think about, well done.
But thank god for other times that restore some measure of faith in fellow humans, such as in our area which has suffered from terrible flooding the past couple years. The community, your typical northeastern USA, time-for-no one-but-ourselves community, suddenly pulls together and helps--with $$, with clothing, with shelter, food and most importantly, with helping hands. (A flood leaves behind a heckuva lot of mud in a home. takes a lot of shovels and brooms and mops and people to push them)
Well. I just wish it could be so all the time, for everyone.
Welcome !
