I passed by a car crash today.
It was horrific.
There for the grace of god go I.
Etcetera.

So we all stopped our cars
And got out our picnics
And started to discuss whose fault the crash was.

Most of us hadn’t seen the crash happen.
Somebody had. She filled us in.
We quickly came to our own VERY strong conclusions
About who was to blame.

Those conclusions differed.

Before long, our roadside picnic
Turned into its own kind of car crash.
Because, it turned out
Each of us was very attached to their own conclusion.
Things got a little feisty.
Families who a short while earlier
Had been travelling along quite happily together
Came to blows.

Meanwhile, the victims of The Car Crash continued to suffer.
Some of them dead. Some of them dying.
A lot of pain.
The ambulances managed to get through I think.
We weren’t really paying attention by now.

You have to understand.
It was very important
That our voices were being heard.
