Reluctant Witness

It never happened
I wasn’t there
Anyway – do you think I care?
‘Is it all lies?
No one to blame?’
Don’t look at me – I feel no shame
How can you tell?
A look in my eyes?
You’re reading it wrong – have another try!
I WAS NOT THERE -
Hear what I say!
It’ll cost me more than I‘m willing to pay
I can’t accept
Implied disgust
Just another incident – a breach of my trust
It is not fair!
I wasn’t there...
Though I saw it happen,
As I turned to stare.
Okay. Okay!
Perhaps, I SAW
James and Peter start another war
Do you think I care?!
