My Bad

My Bad

They used our Courage
Like a Weapon
Made our Kindness
And Tolerance
VERSUS Fear
Seem Naive.

Our Health and Safety
Were NEVER THEIR
CONCERN!

Oh, well, too late.

I learned that from
Squirrels and Scrub Jays
I fed peanuts to.

Sorry, but you all look
So cute!

There are cats around. They NEED to be afraid!
