The Mess They Leave Behind

this is not going to be everyone's cuppa tea ..

The Mess They Leave Behind

I don’t care what you

say, she said ..

Just leave me alone

to get high

in my own head ..

So he did, and she

promptly

threw herself, from

a bridge ..

The driver she hit

perished

there at the scene ..

All the newspaper

headlines

confirmed he died

instantly ..

Whereas she,

on the other hand

sits propped

between pillows ..

Peeling grapes

and writing poetry

from a

hospital bed

somewhere ..

Biding time, until

her compensation

claim comes through ..

Selfish to the core, in the first instance no thought to those who would mourn her passing and more important the consequences of her actions that left innocent people in mourning..
"The mess they leave behind"... and then don't give it a second thought :(

Well best to try and keep the mess to a minimum so no one else gets hurt..

i can not contain my question Nev! did this really happen??? whether of no .. it is a sharp social commentary in the "entitled" places ... there is just anger about such things, me thinks .. super satire sir ... hits hard and straight, in my opinion

There are all kinds of wrecks but I have my doubts of anyone surviving jumping from a bridge and being hit by an auto. But if this were an actual case her compensation would very likely be a charge of manslaughter or negligent homicide. People aren't generally compensated for intentional acts of self-destruction. Nonetheless, it was an interesting and different sort of read. I give you high marks for originality and shock content.

its nothing more than it is .. but I've now seen it twice .. it happens .. shocking isn't it .. cheers F. N.

What passes for virtue, class, or talent today is beyond me.

The good, it is said, die young. The b******s, on the other hand, collect their compensation checks. Something ain't right here.
