I have been wondering about the meaning in life?
Some seem to have it on the outside
These people are a special group of insiders
Very slick on the outside,saying just the right words
Which reminds me of a dog,cat chase
The cat was on the prowl for a nice juice mouse
Now the adversary the poor mouse needs a game plan
First, thought if I go by him, I'll be it lunch for today
The poor gray mouse did not have much to offer them
He could barely meet the needs of his family
What little food he found today need to go to his children
Mr. Cat let the attorney mouse go on though so the mouse would not sue him
As he lines up with his poor family to receive freed food for those who are hurting
The attorney in his fancy camel coat,turn his nose down on the poor
He walk away with out even looking back at the poor miserable lot
Another well dress gentlemen does not look them in the eye it was like,
they were no longer standing or maybe illusion they wish it did not exist
So is this town saying we do not want the poor in our community only the rich and middle class until one day her husband dies leaving her a poor widow
The complaints start a few at a time your dog is not well taken care of it my duty to ask you to please keep your dogs in at night or we may have to give you a ticket
She builds a better pen with more room to run for her dogs
Then she got sick, no one would help her mow her grass yet the doctor told her not to over do it.
Then there another yellow slip at her door, If you do not mow your grass in five days we will give you a ticket
She calls on her neighbor who has not mowed in a month it none of your business
The a quelling feeling that something is not right with this picture
All the stress were upon her a home,garden and remolding so many more thing that have gone wrong since his death
When she had concerns about things happening in her yard
They in directly said if you have this or that violation we are not going to help you
Poor gray mouse is weeping no cares if her back door was kick open, if tools were stolen out of her yard she got the blame for that.
None of this has any logic another lady calls about the same thing they are willing to help her. She has a fancy home, two fancy cars and many friends are the board
Two mouses live in the same village but are they treated equally in the eyes of the law

Why is there such inequity? Who can say, but I see it every day. Maybe because we wish we could do it all ourselves we send out a different vibe. Some people just expect things to come to them. But it is as it is and probably won't change. Good write, dearest.
