Guilty Bystander
John Doe
The father plays the master
The mother plays the slave
Children pay the piper
They suffer or behave
We came into town
To watch the ponies race
We spoke not a word
When a master whipped a slave
There was blood upon his back
He was trembling inside
We turned away from the terror and fright
When an open hand
Turns into a fist
Let me stand beside
The one who breaks the whip
Who do you serve
Do you serve yourself
Open your eyes and save someone else
I am not a master
You are not a slave
We are only human
We must not surrender
