My dear friend...If you had
tried to help this poor woman
you may not be here today. God
has his reasons for having you
be still...they could have had
a gun...and God just wasn't ready
for you yet. God had his reasons
my dear friend.

Fear I can understand and not taking action under circumstances that gave you no win.
I too would have had no way of defending her. But I do know one thing, I would have killed all three of them with a gun of any kind. Or died trying to kill them. To advance in these circumstances a weapon is necessary. I am Clark Kent but I am not Superman. You felt what any unarmed man would have felt. And I would have felt the same thing. Bill

Your not dead, a horrible fear came over you. The mind is working the body freezes. Heartbreaking write, but don't be so hard on yourself. Take care.

David, get a book called "Influence: Science and Practice" by David Cialdini. It will explain to you why you didn't do anything. I hope this helps.

But don't be so hard on yourself, okay? When death is discovered, like this, a life has also been discovered. It's a lesson, David, on the path to learn more about self. Great write, and so glad that you shared a most heartwrenching subject....thank you
In Spirit,
Bear

So very sad the fear that clutchs at our hearts in time of trouble. Your poem is painfully truthful and it took great courage to present that to us. Thank you.

A courageous and difficult versification. Fear can take hold on everyone of us at times. Mt first tripto Indianapolis I walked one evening past the courthouse and behind the bushes three men were robbing another at knife-point. did I want to help the victim? Yes. Was I able to muster the courage needed to do so? No.nOthers simply walked on with haste pretending not to see. So did I. It seems we have become almost insouciant to our neighbor. but is it insouciance or is it fear? Or are they brothers. David, your poem is a great and consciencious piece with social significance. a masterpiece.
