Watching

I watch when I drive, the old people, holding hands.
Not at all bothered with what's truly going on.
The families that go bike riding, and the children.
Who have no idea what their parents brought them into.
I'm sure they'll be fine.

I watch all the crying that happens,
Every death, every life.
Every chance someone gets.
I watch children, get called names,
A child who just got hit.

It's not like I can do anything about it,
I wish things were simple but the truth is,
We are all watching these things happen.
I hope there is much more to life than watching.
I want to stop the watching.
