KI THEZE OBSERVATION & looking away

The  parsha deals with issues that arise from seeing (beautiful women) and failure to observe (wayward child)

I found the following verse: the focal  point of the parsha. 

לֹא-תִרְאֶה אֶת-שׁוֹר אָחִיךָ אוֹ אֶת-שֵׂיוֹ, נִדָּחִים, וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ, מֵהֶם:  הָשֵׁב תְּשִׁיבֵם, לְאָחִיךָ.

1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep driven away, and hide thyself from them; thou shalt surely bring them back unto thy brother.

 I think that R' Bob (Zimmerman) Dylan's most famous song serves as a commentary for this  parsha:

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea?
Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea?

This refers to the extrapolation of the limited observation to  an idea that is beyond the scope of observation.  One does not see the mountain washed to the sea, but one is convinces that over a great span of time, it will happen. 

The last verse of the Haftorah makes reference to the same image:  For the mountains shall depart and the hills totter, but My kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of My peace totter,"

In the Haftorah, this verse is the conclusion  of an idea: 

For a small moment have I forsaken you, and with great mercy will I gather you.

8. With a little wrath did I hide My countenance for a moment from you, and with everlasting kindness will I have compassion on you,"

( required Holocaust reference) 

Ach, the battle with Chronos

Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?

Certainly the struggle for justice is a balance between vision - true and accurate facts; and looking away - justice is blind to social status and race and gender..  This is also referenced in the parsha: 

טז  לֹא-תַסְגִּיר עֶבֶד, אֶל-אֲדֹנָיו, אֲשֶׁר-יִנָּצֵל אֵלֶיךָ, מֵעִם אֲדֹנָיו.	16 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a slave that is escaped from his master unto thee;
יז  עִמְּךָ יֵשֵׁב בְּקִרְבְּךָ, בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-יִבְחַר בְּאַחַד שְׁעָרֶיךָ--בַּטּוֹב לוֹ; לֹא, תּוֹנֶנּוּ.  {ס}	17 he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it liketh him best; thou shalt not wrong him.

Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn’t see? This is the core question. Sometimes, maybe often, we don't see because we don't want to see. We want to avoid the corrective action implicit in seeing the problem: the youthful mistake, the wayward child, our own selfishness, the effort we make compared with the effort we should make. The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind The answer is blowin’ in the wind Maybe forever.  ..
