Precarious World

Your life is great,
and life is beautiful.
It’s all going so well,
no problems, no worries.

But in a millisecond it all
can become a nightmare.

Road rage: a psycho
who cuts you off in
traffic attacks you or
shoots you to death
for shouting at him.

Random shooting: you
are in a restaurant. A
crazed man shoots up
the restaurant, and you
end up wounded or dead.

An unexpected medical
emergency: you are
diagnosed with a life
threatening medical
condition, and you worry
you are going to die.

Random attack, or a
mugging: you banged
up, maybe knocked out,
your valuables gone.

Of course these things
only happen to other
people until you are
one of those people.

Bob Boyd
