indifferent part 2

i was ordering patelitos from princess when this happens

they make amazing food 1st off

anyhow, back to this disturbing story that infuses my truth

my back was turn for a split second when i heard a commotion louder than a locmotive

that railroads its way to being another reason for people to be entertain

except 

that it's nothing to laugh about

there were two young men of color arguing about something

don't know what the premise was

don't want to know 

the less i knew, the better

started as a verbal assault

transformed to a fight that seems to be the norm when faced with threats

fists were flying

bodies were moving

curse words escalating

fight continuing around the corner

people were standing there dazzle by the altercation

mesmerize by ongoing onslaughts

no one didn't bother to intervene

all they did was find another excuse to promote more senseless violence on Facebook

so people can like the video

adaptation of the new civilization we live in

among the people lie weak minds, simple thinkers with absolutely no consideration to human life

individuals continue to desensitize themselves where they are less likely to feel shock or distress at scenes of cruelty, violence, or suffering by overexposure to such images.

but this is not an image

this is a real life event that impacts our lives

and yet we dehumanize ourselves by keeping our voices slient fearfully

i call 911 to intervene without applying physical exertion

at the same time, i'm being looked upon as a snitch

i still had a hard time with the fact that we live in a world that the devil continues to suffocate people with hatred that harmonizes not of joy
 
but more atrocities that infiltrates hopelessness that centralizes imprisonment of indifferences
