Are You So Numb?

You do not hear the siren of the ambulance behind you

Are you so deaf?

Would not kill you to be late for work

But you might kill someone when you do not move to the left

Your face fills with pride as you ask what caste I belong to

Are you so arrogant?

Like you're so sure I am a lesser human than you

But why do you not bow down with humility if someone is higher than you

Gives you the joy to record a murder on the street

Are you so numb?

Your fingers find the camera so fast but not the dial-pad to call the cops

Would you sit there and record if it was your father, brother, husband or wife?

Living in your own dark space in this graveyard of a concrete jungle

Are you so dead?

You so proudly walk around like you have conquered the World

But would you call yourself a decent human... or at least HUMAN?
