public service announcement

And the sight of the rag-doll man now lying limp on the side of the road.

How horrific a sight it was to see
the man bouncing,
cartwheeling,
transforming from a body so strong so resilient to
a rag-doll so weak , so limp, so broken


and others saw the motorcyclist limp on the side of the road,
cell phones blazing calls for help.
parents hiding children's eyes
women crying with empathy
and one man screaming
"leave him alone don't touch him"
"Don't turn him over, don't touch him"


I knew why the man was screaming,

I wonder if those around the rag-doll man on the ground understood.

Do you know why the man was screaming ?
