SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT

Bobby O

Someone Has To Do It
A one second glance unfurled pages enough
Alerts Attire beyond threadbare 
Wire thin and fiber optic buff
A sympathetic protocol began our action sect humane to ready huddled care so heat of body stays retained 
Find status proof in this photo still
This job of mercy we fulfill

    This poem, "Someone Has To Do It," highlights the importance of selfless acts and compassion. The speaker describes a brief moment of connection, where a glance sparks action, and a sense of duty to help others in need.

    The language is vivid and evocative, with imagery that contrasts the fragility of human existence ("threadbare," "wire thin") with the resilience of the human spirit ("fiber optic buff," "huddled care"). The poem also touches on the idea of proof and documentation ("Find status proof in this photo still"), suggesting that even in moments of kindness, there can be a need for validation.

    The tone is one of quiet determination and empathy, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling this "job of mercy." The speaker seems to be saying that even small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in someone's life.
