Why is WALKING AWAY Not Satisfying to The Human Eye

Location

"I want to see blood!"

"I want to see hate!"

"I want to see pain written on your face!"

That is what I hear when a person chooses to watch.

To involve themself in a matter more degrading than name calling.

When words are  not enough, we need to add fists to mix.

My heart turns away in sympathy

My face is stuck with disbelief .

The nerve of them.

The nerve of me.

I shake my head, why is it never enough-

"Oooo! A fight!"

"Move, I can't see!"

To just-

"Boo! Ya lame as hell!"

"So boring, ain't nobody do nothin' !"

Walk away...
