In the crowd of Beijing’s subway line one
I puzzled what I could or should have done
At a wrong station I got off the train
I crossed the overpass dazed and in vain
Waiting for the next metro to arrive
The sound of quarrel brought me back to life
A couple and a lady had a fight
The situation looked very uptight
The man pushed her hard and she almost fell
It was then her life turned into a hell
From th’corner of my eye I saw her fly
She fell on the floor, got kicked by that guy
The poor beauty slain by the evil beast
She lay there knockout, appearing deceased
Tears filled my heart and silently I cried
Thinking: was five meters too far? I might..
For almost an hour I stayed nearby
Till she was able to stand and reply
Helped by the doctors she faltered away
Victim of pointless violence today
