This one didn't have the luck of the irish, nor that of the others within the species to which she were born, this one just lay tossed, on a slab of dark granite an unnoticed sideshow, as the whirling of traffic rushes across, this one like the others, once stricken by the humankind, hers, along a harried highway, her sister's on the receiving ride of a bullets cost, this one will wear multi colored caskets, atop her lithe figure, from the leftover leaves that remain dressed in scarlet, to the musings of ivory that soon sprinkle with winter's frost, this one will decay a while until the calls of kindness moves her skyward, as hearts of the passerbys take pause, this one, like the others never really had a chance, as the eyes of the cowards make her a carcass, to inflate their own manhood, soon as her first breaths are drawn.

sad, this - you paint a poignant picture - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Waste not, want not .... ... even the most caring of souls have their darkness. Only the shadows know. |
