a poem for Kitty Genovese

..there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men..."

-Boondock Saints-



the whispered sin
of not wanting
to get involved

everyone always thinks
someone else will help
someone else will step in
someone
better qualified
to deal with the blood and tears
of humanity's worst moments

easier to point the finger
at someone else
than to dirty
your own hands

why get them covered
in fluids
when you can use them
to cover
your eyes?




fuck that.
