I Stood There, Doing Nothing

I passed through a street when I saw it

A man next to the dog, with a chain it was hit

It whimpered, howled and screamed in pain

Yet, the man didn't stop...he continued to exercise his chain

I didn't do anything, I didn't move a muscle

The poor continued his ruffle

I stood there, doing nothing 

And went on.. my head ducking 

Guilt shuddered through me

The dog suffered in pain... all because of me

I was a coward...timorous about the man

And because of this, I caused a life to jam
