Roadkill, Dead animals on the road, Sorry.

Its spring, the animals like us come out of their holes, to see it. But too many die too soon too sadly on the roads by vehicles destined to move us to enjoy nature.

I have taken to doing something

Every time I see a poor lifeless one on the road that was unsuccessfully trying to cross the road for food or its mate or its little one. I say sorry. No matter what I was thinking whether I am happy or sad or frustrated. I say “sorry”. And I mean it to the creature whatever little to nothing it means. I still say “sorry”.

Sorry that we are the fools on this earth, sorry we are the biggest fools on this earth. Sorry we ignored your life so carelessly. Sorry though we are so stupid we are given the greatest responsibilities on this planet. Sorry we have not risen to care for life yet. Sorry one of ours killed you for no reason. Sorry we are not mature as a race as few still seek pleasure in killing their brethren. Sorry we are destined to repeat and grieve. I say I am “sorry”.
