“Buried Secrets of Time: What Happens When You Stop Looking Ahead?”
In a world where injustices often lurk just out of sight, how many of us become mere spectators, safely tucked away in our comfortable beds while others fight the battles we know need fighting? The sentiment echoed in the poignant verses of this poem strikes a nerve that many of us might recognize but rarely confront. It’s a reflection of complicity, of knowing what is right yet choosing silence—perhaps for fear of disrupting the status quo or simply for the sake of personal peace. Through the lens of personal experience, the poem invites us into the author’s journey from complacency to a stark awakening, reminding us that history is not merely written in books but lived in every choice we make, or fail to make. As we ponder the cost of our inaction, let’s explore this intimate narrative that captures the struggle of being “just another one.” LEARN MORE.I was just another one
