Roadkill
What is that? A raccoon, a groundhog, a cat
Poor thing just going about his day until
WHAM
Not anymore.
But that’s just life
That’s just part of expansion, progress
Certain sacrifices must be made
And aren’t there too many deer anyway?
And those pesky rabbits are just always eating my pretty flowers
And the groundhogs dig up my yard
And the birds shit on my car
And the squirrels eat the food I put out for only the birds
And that one, that one was taking up too much space
Living on the wrong land
That one was at school, how dare he
What a shame, but nothing to do now is there
A pang of empathy, then forget
Protect my peace
Live my life
While others
Lose
Theirs
