 | Earlier this morning I drove into town…
it was only just a little before eight,
then the truck behind me zipped right around...
in such a hurry like he was running so late.
In the back of my mind I kept on thinking…
how selfish that some are even today,
their minds consumed with their worry
makin’ ‘em feel they have to hurry
they risk others’ lives by acting this way.
Like an idiot he kept on gaining more speed…
we were the only two who were on that street,
but he just kept hitting the gas
and then the truck’s pipes gave a blast
as a “showoff” I’m sure he thought it was “neat”.
Then what happened next has been driving my thoughts…
there was a bird which was flying kinda low,
I saw his windshield just crash it
and at his speed he just mashed it
he didn’t care; he just kept on the “go”.
I stopped to look at the bird, trying to help…
it flopped around only trying to stay alive,
I saw its body so tangled
and all its limbs were so mangled
I knew then that it would never survive.
I thought about this bird being a parent…
and what will happen to the babies in the nest?
Though, that bum wasn’t malicious
selfishness can end up as vicious
whenever one thinks only “he“ is the best.
