Life & Death Haikus: Watchman Accomplice (Original Poem)

verbal-d (71) in poetry • 7 years ago

Witnessing evil
Your silent stillness abets
You're just as guilty...

It's not always what you did but more so what you didn't do to prevent or act in righteousness in a serious situation.

Thank you for reading & viewing this post in its entirety, I hope you enjoyed it for what it's worth.

This is worth the upvote for the simple fact that you used your and you're correctly. But I digress...

So true. Many of us lack the courage necessary to do the right thing, but that is not a reason to excuse the conduct.

Haha I didn't even know I lined up both types of Yours and You'res that is funny. I just wrote it in the moment 45min ago and it just flowed out my brain that way. But yeah the one thing I look out for is my misuse of double negative sentences that give the opposite unintended meaning. (I do not do nothing...) Meaning you did do something lol

And thank you for the nice comment, glad you liked this message. We have to fight fear with moral, rationally caring love, but that is also a multifaceted interpretation, in many people's minds

Thank you, glad you liked this poem.

And the correct way to say it is "I like it friend" or "I like it my friend" because I am one person. Friends is plural for more than one person or many people.
