Do Not Ask One Man

A reply to "Ask Afzal for the answers if he knows them" - Kay Roby



Since the dawn of time, man has suffered. 1:36pm.

Without the organizations we make,

I couldn't imagine what could happen.



The animal drive is still instilled in us. 1:38pm.

There is no answer to why men rape.

And yes, it still does happen.



But when it does, the women can run,

to a shelter, to the police.

And one corrupt man,

does not represent the badge,

that the honourable men keep.



The crimes commited to this day,

have long since come a long way,

since years ago, where there was no evidence.

Now, technology has pushed us forward.



The earth has always been sick you see,

since dinosaurs got washed away.

It's just that we've taken over mother nature,

planted homes, when it wasn't ours to take.



The corruption is all we hear about,

to give a warning that all isn't well.

The corruption is our drive you see,

to make people reach out and help.



So what have you done to stop this mess?

What have I done? And Afzal?

It's 1:45, and these are the times.

This is why we write.



Do not ask one man to help,

because he may not know the answer.

It's when you ask the people, for help that is needed,

that you will find the solution.
