Don’t help, please.
Harwood said: "He just looked as if he was going to stay
where he was forever and was almost inviting
physical confrontation in terms of being moved on."
Walking away slowly with hands in his pockets,
‘defying’ police requests to move him on
by doing as they asked but not quite fast enough,
His back to the danger not knowing a stranger
was ready to attack, push him hard in the back,
use a baton on him, he had his hands in his pockets,
with no idea there was reason to fear the man who this year says
loud and clear,“I’m here to help.”
But his form of help is the sort of help
we could all do without and I just want to shout
“Look out! Look out!”
But if I could shout through the film playing
if he’d heard what I’m saying
nothing would have changed
Because Harwood was trained
to help.
