There are cases when you see some crime (major or minor) happen around you and you walk by thinking it isn't your business. But then are you not guilty? Inspired by the Keenan and Reuben murder case, and also the Jessica Lal case. Are the by-standers not guilty?
He needed my help but I didn’t know him
He saw hope in me, but I didn’t want any part in this
I was a bystander, a passer-by, who was at the wrong place at the wrong time
They had stabbed him in front of me, I had witnessed gruesome the crime
I went closer when they left,
Called the police as my first response
I tried to lift him up, called for an ambulance
But then I realised I had witnessed a murder, I would have to plead innocence
I tried running with blood stained hands
I tried washing off the stains off my shirt
