Been watching YouTube videos of women
arrested for drunk driving and for creating
all manner of disturbances in public.
At first it was surprising to see legions of
mostly young ladies drunk and disorderly.
The novelty was an addictive watch for
a while, unseeming, shocking, surprising.
Then it was sad to see so many lovely
young women getting themselves in so
much unnecessary trouble with the police.
It was worse when they cried and were in
tearful despair, though of their own making.
Still tragic to see their lives had taken such
drastic turns for whatever unclear reasons.
To me, they were a reminder of the many
sad stories in this often disheartening life.
It is my hope that one day all of us will be
in an after world beyond all the sorrows.
