Getting Involved
Today I heard the words,
“I’m not getting involved”.
Would they have said it
To somebody they had loved?
Maybe they would go that far
To show that they don’t care
Since they’re always first to protect themselves
By claiming it’s just and fair.
I would like to say to them,
“One day you may need a protector too
Whether it’s a friend or not
To come and stand by you,
And if you’re not so lucky
And you fail to defend you
Maybe it’ll be your turn, my friend,
When they come to get you”.
