-A Stranger Cries Out- by Keaton Foster A stranger Cries out I hear Her voice The sound She makes Curdling I don’t move I can’t Just won’t I’m frozen Over the fear Of what is Happening To her Standing still I hope another Somehow acts Maybe They’ll save her Then again Possibly They won’t I just don’t know And probably won’t I’ll remain here Too afraid to move Too mortified to act Upon her behalf As well as my own I myself Would rather die Than save her From herself Or anything else A Stranger Cries out She does not convey What it’s about She just pleads By the grace of God If you can hear me Come and help Come and save me But I won’t I just can’t Nope I’ll remain here Looking unsure Acting unaware As others Braver than I Act upon her behalf Rise up to the chance Of what it could mean To put themselves In harm’s way In order to save her A Stranger Cries out Increasingly dire She sounds Someone better act Someone other Than the likes of me Had better step in Do the right thing Regardless Of the “what if” I’ll remain here Telling myself Possibly a lie That she’ll be fine She’ll be saved By some other One Who had the guts To find out What she Was screaming about… A Stranger Cries Out Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
