My blood drips like the minutes of a clock
as time seeps slowly out and I unwind
the ultimate betrayal comes to mock
humanity denied, thus redefined
the second-hand sweeps slowly, none take heed
in time to save the minutes I still bleed
my stain lies where so many wouldn't pause
my dying comment caught for all to see
the place where time stood still. an unjust cause
or "just" reward and failed humanity

My modesty and virtue, both destroyed
as the hands of time accosted me and raped
humanity sent texts, no help deployed
the incident of me, by cell phone, taped
who here stood up to heed a young girl's cries
So quick to point the finger and lay blame
humanity observed with open eyes
But when I screamed for help, nobody came

These lives become the footnotes of our times
a stain upon the fabric none can bleach
of civilized society. these crimes
demand that we all practice what we preach
it's US. It's me, it's you. It's how we act
before the horror ends, not when it's fact
