Look away and perhaps you can shake off the image of the man stealing money from a blind and homeless man's money jar....
Look away and you might not hear the screams for help from your next door neighbor again tonight...
Look away and you might avoid seeing your married friend in a clandestine meeting with another married person.
Look away and you might become desensitized to that co-worker who makes yet another inappropriate comments...
Look away and you might be able to convince yourself that even though it happens to a fellow human, it just isn't your problem.
Look away and you might feel about your friend's attempt to cover yet another black eye with concealer...
Look away and you certainly should be able to avoid accountability when you see a manager make yet another advance on a female associate...Nobody else will tell so why should you, right?
Look away and you might actually believe that the country is in great shape and people like yourself are the primary reason why....
Look away and you might think your neighborhood is doing fine just the way it is and no change is necessary...
Look away and just post a "Pray For....." Much easier than actually praying.
Look away and maybe you won't see that all of the things you preach to others outside of your household has yet to affect those within your household...
Look away and you might be convinced that this world is better off when everyone thinks alike, looks alike, and believes the same way...
Look away and maybe thirty years of unhappy marriage can change without you doing anything different...
Look away and you can pretend you didn't see that "shopper" tucking that item she didn't buy under her baby's blanket and walk out of the store...
Look away and chalk up your child's bullying tactics on the playground to "kids being kids"...
Look away and hurry through that timeline so you can quickly forgot that "friend" that makes another racially bias post to support being "their America".
Look away and maybe everything will be better when you look again...
