What being unforgiving does? <br />It destroys! <br />Just like the spread, <br />Of uncurable cancer. <br />Leaving many opossums to play dead, <br />On a road no one cares to travel. <br />Avoiding an 'acute' way... <br />Those have come to seek attention! <br />At the expense of suspense, <br />And heartbreak dispensed. <br />Never to be witnessed again. <br />With that promise to forever keep! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Inspired by: <br />Leslie Alexis <br /> <br />'Thank you Leslie for your comments. <br />And providing the inspiration, <br />from which 'Opossums' got its 'birth'. <br />I appreciate that.' <br /> <br />~LSP~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
