I saw a man dragging a puppy
that didn’t want to go
And everyone else in the street didn’t want to know
“Don’t get involved!” said a nervous Mr Hay
And he crossed over the street
to walk the other way!
I saw a brother pinch his little sister
on her tiny arm
How could anyone want to do
another body harm?
“Don’t get involved!” said a spiteful Miss Melissa
She won’t play with me at school
and is meaner than her sister
I saw a man shout
and push a woman to the ground
She bowed her head and was crying
but you couldn’t hear a sound
“Don’t get involved!” said a crabby Mrs Mend
And I wondered for over a month
if that poor woman had a friend
But now I’m older and I know better
I want to pass this message on
If there’s a body in need
you must always take heed
Because nobody wants to go through it
alone

True……”don’t get involved”….don’t know does it help. Self or victim.

It certainly doesn’t help the victim, I think.

Even the self. Because then one has as to live with the guilt of not helping.

Living with guilt doesn’t help, it tends to consume and destroy, most of the time. And to me, it seems, we live in a world bred of psycho and sociopaths who care not as long as they win/succeed/achieve the goal. Very complex and very interesting. Rather a sad indication of where society is heading….😔☮️🌻💜

You nailed it. The world can be a harsh place. Sometimes we all need a friend, someone to stick up for us and to hold our hand!

A true word when spoken with love, stand up and say don’t do that, can move mountains and oceans alike. No one wants to be alone all the time xoxo

So true! Often it’s so much easier to look the other way – I find it hard to look the other way – it would torment me if I didn’t do something and that’s got to be waaaaay worse! 🙂 xoxo

I am the same. I have to say something about it, can’t just walk on by. Hate it when people are fighting even more, I’m not as strong as I once was but can’t let it happen on the street. Most of the time they do stop but there’s still that chance that one of them could have a weapon and I could be injured. I only think of that afterwards though. I’m sure I’d have made a good copper back in the day 😃💋

Oh definitely! That really is the attitude you need – you are there to care for others – part of good policing is getting involved! I have a friend who was partnered with a weak officer who wouldn’t get involved because of fear – that just left my mate in absolute danger, you may as well be on your own! 🙂 xoxo

Not necessarily true, the weakest among us can be provoked into action but until then yes you’re better being alone xoxo

Yes, I guess I see it as if you can’t be galled into action as a policeman (it’s your job), by seeing your partner in potential danger and not backing them up, then you are in the wrong job! But yes, we all sit on a compendium of continuums – some of us needing more of a reason/push to extremes than others, I s’pose 😉 xoxo
