Hear the laughter and cheers around
As I approach the commotion
The hunched over sobbing body on the ground
Smell of blood and odours as I near
People yelling and roaring with laughter
Insults piercing the body like a blade to skin
Peering through the crowd to the face
Glistening and in the light
Fear and pain undeniable in his features
The brown glassy orbs stares into me
Silently begging for help
With a look of pity and sorrow
Turning my back to forget the desperate face
As the laughter gets louder
As do the groans and moans of his weeping body
