Business

Business

You walk through the park
On the way to your job
And happen to notice
There is something odd
That man over there
Is holding a knife
The lady beneath him
Pleading for life
But it's not your business
To disrupt what you see
So go on to work
That's how it will be

On your way home now
But under the tree
Is the same lady
But now she is dead
Though it's not your fault
How could it be
It wasn't your business
There now you see

The next day
On your way in the park
The tree now sits empty
Blood on it's bark
Now shove off that thought
It's not your concern
Just keep on your path
And look straight ahead
It's not because of you
That she is now dead
Because it wasn't your business
To stop that man's knife
And why should you bother
It wasn't your life

Its none of your business
What happened that day
Don't be that sole witness
There's nothing to say
It's none of your business
That her family is sad
You didn't kill her
No need to feel bad
It's none of your business
But how could that be
You sat through a murder
Right under that tree

   Hello Alexandria, very well done. The mechanics of it all, as well as the wording did kept this very right on to read through it did fer me it did for me..., as well as in a nice balance for story conception to grown in the readers head. In fact, I read this one whole from beginning to end, which has been rare for me, vane as it may sound hehehe; however, it was very soothing to read; Once again, very well done...

   This reminds me of a lesson once read in a critical thinking class that once took I did I did, valid point VS sound points. A valid point being that anything can be argued, regardless of origin of point, if the beginning of the point is true or false, as long as the end point is can be argued to a valid point; however,  if the Sound point being based on if the origin being true,  then logically the end point has to be well thought out from a true beginning to a logical end based on truth. Lawyers often litigate on these premises...  Here, we see the end point being written out to conclusion of the woman dying, and the curious onlooker not interacting, though they had the chance opportunity to intervene, yet they did not, from a valid argument. Twould seem evil, or the going rate once again held up and continued, though, we never know the premise of the woman and the killer, what started, whom would be at fault, whom was the instigator and what the beginning of the truth of this story started as, very good write, made me a fan this write, very well done again.
