a poem for Kitty Genovese
By KittyStryker
..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.

similar to what happen to my surrogate mother. kidnapped .... tortured for two days... beaten ...multiple stab wounds to the chest.. throat slashed... 'medieval ritualistic murder' ... basically butchered... then dump in a river bed. (long story short -the Nuremberg Trials set a strict precedence for witnesses that fail to act). humans are despicable animals.

As Velvet said, Psych. has used what happened to her and others to justify and attempt to explain societies mass misconceptions. The question that remained for me was, why is academia only focusing on the knowledge they gain, instead of educating us on the solutions to prevent such occurrences in the future. Well spun Bast. ~T
