Walk on by.
labor, love, life,
you're obviously busy.
Someone else isn't.
Walk on by.
Author notes
It's short, but I wanted to express what I feel Americans do about helping each other. I hoped I caught it. I made it short and sweet becasue I felt I would detract from my piece if I made it lengthy. I hope it is enjoyable.
The picture truly dumbfounded me. But then again,I do tend to help other people if I feel like it, and some passed out/dead guy on the sidewalk. Hell, wouldn't just plain curiousity inspire SOMEONE to at least try to speak to him? Not the American Samaritan.

This is a very true piece. the "American Samaritan" helps who they want to help when they want to help them. If only we could be true samaritans. great piece.
