We look the other way
when conflict arises,
Wave our hands in disgust,
say 'someone will handle it'
As we slip the blinders
over our eyes.
Even when the layers
are peeled back, and hurtful
Words are spoken, people
victimized and beaten
Due to ethnicity,
religion, and gender,
We hope that someone else
will deal with the chaos,
Even when a tyrant
threatens our freedom.
