I am just a bystander

I am just a bystander

I neither am a soldier nor am I a politician

And I watch the soldiers die not in a battlefield, while helping refugees

I watch as the politicians blame each other for the lives lost not in mourn but in scorn

I neither am a journalist, nor am I a socialist

So I watch the terror comes right through my neighbor's door

And the world watches with wide open eyes

I am not a religious scholar nor do I understand gods will very well

So I watch children blow themselves up in the name of gods will

And I watch men and women bleed for the mistakes of their forefathers

And few men applaud their killers as it serves their propoganda and agendas

I am just a bystander

So I watch as the thirst for power is driving people insane

And I watch the madness and destruction

I watch as the humanity is shattered into pieces

And think to myself maybe this very well be the end of this planet.

As I said I am just a bystander.
