I did nothing

When the Police and Army killed them in Soweto,
What did I do?

I did nothing, just watched it on the news,

they didn't belong in the country they own

not on my block, it doesn't concern me.

That is a truly apathetic attitude and extremely sad. That is a big problem today. No one cares or wants to get involved in the worlds problems.

That is why I wrote it, we are numbed by the violence on the news and so we do nothing....except buy guns to protect ourselves from.....????????????
I used to have a large collection of weapons but have got rid of them, the news promotes violence and numbs us to the truth. look at the murders in Derry in 1971 by the paras, 14 people killed and that only led to people joining the vioence, but we did nothing to stop the rot.
