confession of a witness
I was trapped in traffic. It was awful: Lift foot from brake, roll a few feet, reapply pressure to brake. Wait. Repeat. For miles it was like that. When it finally opened up I eagerly applied pressure to the accelerator and began the zoom to work. But just as the zoom was picking up -say, at the “zo” of “zoom”- I saw her there on the side of the road. A deer, clearly wounded, although for a second one might think she was merely sitting at the side of the road watching the cars go by. But no, she couldn’t move from her spot, and she was looking around, trying to push up with her front legs, arching her neck as she searched for a familiar face, perhaps. And her eyes met mine -at least I feel that they did- and I did nothing. I kept going. I was late for work. She was, I think, early for death.
This happened on Thursday morning. It is now 11:30 pm on Friday. Although I’m not sure what I could have -or should have- done, I feel terribly guilty.
Bush goes ballistic about other countries being evil and dangerous, because they have weapons of mass destruction. But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? Why has bush turned our country from a country of hope and prosperity to a country of belligerence and fear.
What happened to us, people? When did we become such lemmings?
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
