Nobody Knows

This is a piece by a new member, Sandi Jean, in response to our latest workshop assignment.

Nobody knows

the plight of another

the ups, the downs,

the path of our brother.


Nobody knows

the reason he does

the things that he does

that seem without cause.


Nobody knows

yet everyone judges

we’re quick to convict

and hold lasting grudges


Yet somebody knows

all the facts and suppose

that if we knew them too

we’d feel pretty darn blue

at our part in his execution.
