Notes About The Poem

This time was different

He messed up and created his crisis,
he should have foreseen the outcome.
In his delusion he did not think through
that no one would be around to save him.

Sometimes it's hard to have sympathy for people who choose not to help themselves.

Ha, ha. Somehow, the picture makes me want to lend this guy a hand. Should I refrain b/c it's all his fault? Morrill D. Llama
