We met our friends
At a local restaurant
They lived in Pittsburg
And we barely saw
Them anymore
Regardless
The embrace was very
Warm as it usually is
Between good friends
She was some kind of writer
He had just become a detective
After working in a drug
Related crime unit for years
Now he worked with gangs
"You see the same ****
Heads all the time,
And they just don't *******
Die."
"They get shot
9, 10, 11, 12 times
And spit on the
Nurses while they stitch
Them up."
"I don't know how
You feel about it,
But those people
Are animals,
******* animals."
I found myself nodding in
Agreement even though
I had no idea what his
Job or the animals
Lives encompassed
I felt bad agreeing with him
But in a way,
I knew he was right
We are all animals
In one way or another
I find that the animals
Born to the smallest cages
Tend to be the fiercest
While the animals born in
Large cages or
If they're lucky
Open fields
Tend to have no idea
How confining a small cage
Can really be.
