She was being interviewed about a book
she wrote while she was grieving.

Everybody felt so sad for her because
her husband had been murdered

by whom no one really knew, except
months later when the police arrested her.

She seemed too nice and respectable
to be capable of murdering anyone.

Her motive was the millions she’d inherit
if her husband were dead.

But still she seemed too nice and respectable,
yet she was guilty and now in prison for life.

Perhaps behind her nice and respectable
persona, lurked a well hidden psychopath.

An eagle that rules the skis
has no predators,

except if it gets too old, too sick,
or too injured to fly,

except if it’s a baby eagle
and gets nabbed by a hawk.

I’d like to have no predators
like an eagle.

instead of all the potential predators
I have as a human

in forests and in jungles,
in streets and in wars

and even in seas.

She was beautiful and seemed
incredibly nice as if she had a perfect life.

But, sadly, then she said she’d just spent
some time in a hospital for depression.

It seemed a sacrilege that she’d been afflicted
with depression so bad it put her in a hospital.

How i hated even the thought of her having
to suffer with depression that serious.

I hope she found treatments at the hospital
to make her condition easier to endure.
