6 out of 7

look away.
That’s a fact.
They avoid eye contact
and have nothing to say.
 
But if
1 in every 7
takes notice,
that’s enough.
 
Then all the 1s can unite.
Stand up.
Speak out.
Do what’s right.
 
But what if
(worst case scenario)
they’re wrong
and then commandeered
 
by a self-serving creep
who speaks eloquently
and inspires others
to begin following them
 
like sheep?
