Laying the
Groundwork
They Watched From Their Windows
Mel Waldman
When I was a younger man, a man of dreams and vision,
I read about the poor woman who was raped.
They watched from their windows and did nothing. It’s
true. It really happened. No one called 911. No one
helped
her.
In the Times, I read about the heinous act that humans
witnessed. Later, we talked about
it
in my psychology
classes.
From above, they watched. Yet no one made the call.
What have we learned since that brutal day?
It’s far away in
our
past, and it’s here-buried in
our psyche.
We share the guilt, for it’s
our
sin of omission.
Beware! Evil’s lurking in the postern of our fractured souls
and out there-in the dark, blemished earth.
Tomorrow, someone will need our help. Shall we find
redemption or by the sin of inaction, condemn ourselves
to Hell?
