On the fence
There they were-unconcern
While all around them, the pressure surge
People crying
Children being abused
While they dare to sit on the fence
They do not show apathy
Irrespective of how loud the crying gets
They are people without a heart
No worry
They are just perched on the fence
They are not bothered by
What is going on on either side?
Probably it is right on the left
Or wrong on the right
The echo is loud
I too hear the bellow
But no one is utterly concerned
Everyone is just sitting on the fence
The fence is their refuge
Sitting on the fence brings them comfort
Somewhere they can be free, carefree
Just sitting on the fence
No one will disembark
No one is willing to be lowered
They are all aloof
Just sitting on the fence.
