The Fifth Commandment



The wrong way is the easy choice
For those who just don't care
To speak for those who have no voice
Pretend you're unaware
Of how their world is changing
Their minds just slip away
You just aren't rearranging
Any hours in your day
You care too much about yourself
To face the painful truth
And so you place them on a shelf
Like you can't see the proof
That one who sacrificed for you
Now needs your helping hand
Ignoring what you know is true
Too weak to make a stand
So, they will fade, then disappear
You'll try hard to forget
How you abandoned one so dear
You'll live with that regret
