Once they seemed like friends to you.
You thought they’d stay in touch.

But they never did and didn’t really
care about you or your life.

And when you die, they probably
won’t even know it. And if they do

if will be barely like a ho hum,
those who once seemed like friends.

And when you wake up and realize
this, you will feel the same way

about them and won’t know when
they have died and left this world.

Perhaps that’s the way it’s meant to be.
Maybe things will be different in the

coming afterlife for them and for me.

This seems fair. To me it seems just that
you kill the predator of your prized pigeons.

But, alas, hawks are protected by Federal Laws,
and if you kill one in Florida, you could be fined

up to $10,000 and put in jail of up to six months,
and you may be prohibited from racing or

exhibiting your pigeons ever again. I find that
unjust. It gives the hawk free reign in slautering

your pigeons. And it is nonsensical that a hawk
is allowed to slaughter one’s pigeon.

It makes no goddamn sense is what I’m trying
to say in the proverbial plain English.

And outrageous that the owner of racing pigeons
gets screwed over in the courts of law.

And the hawk can go on killing prized racing
pigeons with impunity. That law needs to change.

Leah lived in the background of her prettier sister’s life.
Her parents favored her sister. She was more popular
in school. And she got better grades than Leah did.
Leah suffered from an inferiority complex and she
blamed her sister for it. One day her pretty sister
disappeared and was found drowned in a nearby lake.
And the police called it accidental. Only Leah knew it
was no accident, and her life got better thereafter.
