What Would You Do.

Paul Bell

Big fat guy sucking a ciggie

Pushing a pram

Will he be around for his next birthday

Does he give a damn

 

Young kid wearing a suicide vest

Full of hate

What's his fate

Sees his mother as he pushes the button

Is it too late

 

Young girl in the clinic

Time not right

Life to lead

Her body

You have to concede

 

The Soldier on the screen

Sees the target

Surrounded by children

Is it a moral dilemma

The few for the many

Is it his duty

Does he walk away

 

They all walk down the same street

Don’t meet

But united in the universe of time

Life will go on

It always will

Actions have consequences

What would you do.

    Yep consequences indeed.

    I resolve not to poke my nose where it aint wanted. They are all gonna die anyway.

      They sure are, it's in the cards.

      Actions do have consequences so I would smile at the world.

        I'm liking the smile poem, just wondering how I can steal it now.

          It is by Spike Milligan.
