apathy
last night i saw this physically challenged guy who had no limbs from thigh down being kicked brutally by this other guy who appeared inebriated. a crowd watched animatedly, under a dull yellow street light, they looked like the kind of folk who could'nt afford a tv and its in-house remote controlled violence.
i rode on, had dinner and slept, peacefully i think.
ten months of covering deprivation, ethics, truth telling, objectivity and key issues.
they prepared me to be a journalist who can change the world.
it stared at me last night and i felt impotent.
i should have taken martial arts instead and bought myself a cape and a ski mask.
meet moseley man. defender of the downtrodden.
there i go again amusing myself with the world of fantasy.
stop nelson...............write another report.........why dont you?
changing the world can wait.
