Helping Others

Yesterday I was riding with my parents coming home from a Christmas get together. As we drove along we passed a man on the side of the road giving CPR to another man laying motionless on the ground. My father immediately called 911 to report the incident but I just had this gut feeling that the ambulances would never arrive in time and no other cars had pulled over to help.

I wanna know the story of what you would have done had you been in the same situation. Would you have stopped and helped them? Or would you have just driven away fighting back the urge to turn and help?

No prewritten poems.

That's basically the only rule...

Good luck!

In this world of sin and strife,
many troubles we do bear.
