My heart hurts, but it's not because am hurt.
It's like it's being twisted and turned and I can't breathe.

Yesterday, I saw a boy, a little boy. He was crying.
He had no hands and there was a fresh wound on his face.
I walked past him without even the slightest feeling of pity or compassion.

Today, I heard a lady say that he's dead and she said "Thank God, I didn't help him" 
I couldn't help but ask "why would you thank God for that?" 
She said "who knows if helping him would have led to my death instead of his, isn't it obvious? who leaves a child with no arms on the road?" 

My heart hurts.
What have we become? What have I become? 
Am too engrossed in what to be responsive to someone's suffering? 

When did doing good become the bad thing? 
When did we lose courage to fight against the wrong? 
When did we become so afraid of love? 
When did we lose our hearts? 
Or did we just keep locked up somewhere? 
It's time we got it back.
