Sorry, Your Soul Just Died

(Ms.) James Savage

If you saw a child drowning
You’d jump in and save them, wouldn’t you?
Well, apparently not, apparently no one cares
When parents who’ve known every day
That their children were being raped
Throw up their arms and say “Well, what could we do?”

If you saw women being mauled by rabid animals
You’d try to save them, wouldn’t you?
Well, apparently not, apparently no one cares
When a rapist is given three years in prison
After being convicted of one of the most heinous crimes there is
While everyone throws up their arms and says “It happens”

If a plague outbroken was killing people daily
You’d try to stop the spread of the virus, wouldn’t you?
Well apparently not, apparently no one cares
That there are virgin children
And faithful wives dieing of AIDS
And everyone just throws up their arms and says “What do I care, it’s not me”

If you were slowly getting frostbite that would become gangrene
You’d try to save yourself from dieing, wouldn’t you?
Well apparently not, apparently you don’t care
You want to be cold and numb
And blackened to dead inside
Then tell others you’re happy but never believe yourself
