See something

say something

By Kavi WarrickPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

See something say something

Shouldn’t just apply

to unattended bags

Forgotten parcels

Ownerless backpacks

See something

Another human in need

A stranger in trouble

A women harassed

Say something

Step up, step in, step towards the situation

Speak up, speak out, speak against discrimination

See hunger, feed

See anger, pacify

See love, support

See intolerance, rectify

See something

Say something

In silence we all fail

In silence we all surrender

In silence we’re all frail

For lack of a defender

Boldness tastes like fear

Courage looks like calling out

Over a roar of indifference

At the risk of looking stupid

Hey are you ok

I see you

And your situation

I see the panic and desperation

Maybe I can help maybe I can do nothing at all

Except say something

and break what hate uses to separate

Us all

Silence

There's a moment where all the words try to come out all at once, and it's either beautifully chaotic or decidedly blank.
