Your lying there, dead. Corpse slowly rotting, flies hover around your mutilated flesh. Sorry but your life, your existence wasn't as important as someone getting to work on time. Ironically it's now that your dead lying there that we take the time to swerve and not hit you.

Roadkill
Your lying there, dead. Corpse slowly rotting, flies hover around your mutilated flesh. Sorry but your life, your existence wasn't as important as someone getting to work on time. Ironically it's now that your dead lying there that we take the time to swerve and not hit you.
Thoughts had while driving past roadkill this morning. Watching people swerving, trying not to hit it, made me wonder why it wasn't done in the first place.
