No Business Of Ours

How many times have we turned our back on someone who needed our help? Too many times, we turn our back saying this is no business of ours. How many times have we walked away on someone who just needed someone there? Too many times, we turn a deaf ear when we should be listening. How many times have we done these things? Too many times and more. How many times have we stood by in someone’s crisis, but never did a thing. Too many times, we have never lifted a finger when we should have stepped in. One cry heard in the night and never answered is just one cry too many. Cemeteries are too filled with cries that were no business of ours. One day we might realise one voice can defeat an army, and one outstretched hand of friendship could reverse all too popular trends, saving us from saying, over and over again, this is no business of ours. 7 February 2011
