Indifference

As a cup falls
from the edge
of a table
and you don't
leap up
to break
its fall
but watch it
shatter on the floor.
I just froze.
Time seemed to stand still.
What could I do?
It was only a cup.
And you toss
the shards
into the bin.
So a country
slides towards
destruction
and innocence
is slaughtered
as people stand
on corners
waiting for the
lights to change.
I feel powerless.
No-one will listen to me?
What can I do?
It's a very long way away.
And you toss
your conscience
in the bin.
