Hypothetical Questions by Silent Witness

Hypothetically speaking
What if there was this girl
Who thought herself worthless?
Who felt lost in this world?
Pacing this barren wasteland
Would you offer her a hand?
Would you offer her comfort?
Compassion, a friendship tried and true

Hypothetically speaking
What if there was a little boy
A tiny baby with a druggie for a mother
No father, a child born of shame
Would you offer peace and comfort?
Hope to his mother
Would you wrap him in love?
Teach him right from wrong?
Would you take responsibility for him?

Hypothetically speaking
What if when you walk outside
You have to step over a homeless bum
To get to your nice car
To go to your wonderful job
What if he asks for spare change?
Do you give it to him or simply toss him away?

Hypothetically speaking
What if your daughter is getting beaten?
By her husband every day
What if your son is beating his wife?
Do you simply turn away then?
Do you try to get them help?
Do you let them work it out on their own?

Hypothetically speaking
Your neighbors do drugs
In front of their child
Do you simply ignore it?
In hopes it goes away
Or do you try to get help
To get that helpless child out of harms way

Hypothetically speaking
What if Jesus came back like this?
Would you offer him your heart would you allow
His peace to flow through you
Or would you simply slam the door
I beg you to look around you
God has mysterious ways
Don't turn your back on your brother
Because you may turn your back
On Jesus one day

Sounds familiar.
You do realize, don't you, that the whole first section sounds oddly family. Almost exactly the same to The Lost Girls' Poem "Hypotheticly Speaking". Just thought I'd let you know. Though a few of the words are different, they sound almost identical. Good Poem Though.

different point of view
Though the poems have a similar flavor they seem to be from differnt points of view. I see both poems as a creative comparison of ideas, No one can say anything about plagiarism, Though these poems are of similar ideas or thoughts they go in completely different directions. Ideas are often born from those of others

Does it matter?
Does it matter that silent witness's poem is slightly like the poem I wrote? In my opion- it doesn't. Silent witness, this poem is very good and reaches out to a say a very heartfelt statement. I commend you on it greatly.
