Harvest

It's easier to let things pass you by
Than take a stand and choose to intervene;
It's hard to stand up, say "That's what I mean,
And I won't take it anymore." To shy
Away from conflict, not to even try
To change a thing, to never show a lean
One way or another - that's the clean
And easy way to do things. Don't ask why
Or get too interested - that way lies
A danger you don't know, or want to know.
It's simpler, when a friend whimpers or cries
To say "it's not my business" and just go.
But that's unfair; to reap good you must sow,
So dry the teardrops from their crying eyes.
