Disregard

It’s only human

Source: smokfish/Pixabay

If you see an injustice and turn a blind eye, If you stand on the sidelines while others try, If you never speak up in response to a lie, If you turn your back at an animal’s cry, If you don’t share what you have, what the needy can’t buy, If you can watch others weep while your eyes are dry, If you are immune to the struggles of the “little guy,” If you only care about your piece of the pie, If you bear mute witness while people sicken and die…

…that’s called indifference.

Sherry McGuinn is a slightly-twisted, longtime Chicago-area writer and award-winning screenwriter. Her work has appeared in The Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and numerous other publications. Sherry’s manager is currently pitching her newest screenplay, a drama with dark, comedic overtones and inspired by a true story.

Thanks so much for reading. Here are a few more of my ramblings.
