From TSL Prompt 10 June 10 "How many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesn't see? by Bob Dylan 

How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see? 
 As many times as necessary To his health 
Avoiding  being concerned by others’ suffering

How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see? 
As many times as necessary To his comfort 
 Abstaining to feed others starving 

How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see? 
As many times as necessary to go home
Stepping over the homeless 

How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see? 
As many times as necessary so his wallet
Never feels lighter 
Averting the beggar’s hand

How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see? 
As many times as necessary To his greed
For equality is never to be shared.
