Day Fourty and Seven

God why are people so mean?
what goes on in their heart
that causes so much disdain

did they loose a child
a parent
a friend

did they give trust
to find denial and pain

fired from a job
married an alcoholic
suffer from depression

In my mind
I create their calamaties
making actions excusible

cutting in line
swearing at a child
beating a spouse
thinking only of themselves

I offer this prayer
for made up calamities
and the people who live them
