I hear them they keep me up at night
as I try to figure out how to help....

if you hear,
you are in it
you cannot look
the other way
I say, but it can
be a dilemma
that people do face
from day to day

you walk in the store
no one is there,
you wonder, you ring
the bell, still no one
comes out,
possibly something/'/s
wrong,
do you leave after waiting
a while, or do you investigate?

someone could easily steal
what is in the cash register,
or, perhaps, someone
already did

in a normal day,
your heart pounds

the world is like
that, one can never
rehearse, or, plan
for the unexpected,
the unwanted,

you hear, or you do not
hear what you should

this is a virtue poem
that you wrote drone

well done!

Peace!

Powerful, Poet, and the ending is chilling. Well done.
